Hey everyone,
I always will find a music track that has the feel I'm looking for, lay it down, then edit my footage accordingly. Cutting when the beat hits, etc. However I've always wondered if others are cutting the footage first, then making music to hit with the edits. How is it traditionally done on major motion pictures? Does the symphony know that on count 8 they need a big crescendo, or do they know the feel the director is looking for, make the music, then the editor will lay down the song and edit accordingly? Would love to hear your feedback thanks!
