Cutting to the beat

-          Very important to music  videos

-          Cutting to the beat is a key part to having a successful video.

-          Locate the different shots used

-          Use a key

For example Adele every 4/5 beats then change in scene ////-////

A for Adele

B for Broken items

D for Drummer

G for Glass

 

With Adele, Rolling in the deep the use of strums on the strings determines when the shot changes.

/ = every time the shot changes

 

/There's a fire starting in my heart/
Reaching a fever pitch, it's bringing me out the dark/
/Finally I can see you crystal /clear
[Clean version:] Go/ 'head and sell me out and/ I'll lay your ship bare
[Explicit version:] Go 'head and sell me out and I'll lay your shit bare
See how I leave with every/ piece of you/
Don't underestimate the things that I will do/

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch
And it's bringing me out the dark

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all/
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all/
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it, to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
