Lesson 13. Scoring to Picture
Composing music for film and video has been greatly facilitated with the advent of computer-based music production. Methods for calculating tempo and ensuring synchronization between music and picture have been made simpler by computers powerful enough to stream digital video and audio in the same application. Scoring to picture is a collaborative effort that entails integrating a variety of media (including digital video and audio) that is often produced by more than one person or facility. As a result, a key skill is the ability to import and work with many media elements in a variety of formats while maintaining the same timing references, especially when the music needs to synchronize with critical moments in the film or video footage. In this lesson you will work with a synchronized digital video clip in a Logic song, adjusting its tempo to coordinate with significant events in the movie. You'll also align musical events with the SMPTE timeline to accentuate visual cues. |
