@omgadrian Writing my script to the tempo of a song is one of the simple “hacks” I use to keep the audiences attention locked in. It’s not just cutting on beat. Today, we dive a bit deeper. Picking the music first is key. #filmmaking #cinematography #tutorial

STEP ONE
So, do you wanna know why this right here just works? It's because I picked the music first. And today, I'm gonna break this down, while listening to my voice over this track is more engaging. It sits in the pocket. It's a right tempo, rhythm. Step one. As I'm writing my film, I write to the tempo of the music. I play it on repeat, walk around the room, catch a vibe, talk out loud, and just like any rapper or songwriter, I ride the beat. Highs, lows. Simple. These filmmaking techniques are calculated. It's a science. No when I'm done writing my script and it's time for me to go out there and film it, what I do is take my song that I wrote to and play it until I catch the rhythm. Okay. So now, I deliver my line on beat, on tempo, so that when I put it together in my edit, my dialogue sits in the pocket. Now that is a filmmaking hack 101. Catch y'all next time.
