Lyric Timing

Elongation is used to slow the song down and to make it flow onto the next line of the song. I think this is useful because it gives me an indication of the speed of the edits I will use.

Breaks in the song/pauses, could indicate when an edit might be or a change of scene so that the edit isn't in the middle of the artist singing.

Timing of each line in the song will help me when producing my music video because I will be able to match the clip perfectly to the song.

The red sections of the song are when I want the shot to be focused on the artist singing to the song (the performance of the song). The purple sections of the song is where I want the narrative to take place in the song.
The performance and narrative sections of the song will consist of multiple edits.

To the right I have looked and listened to the lyrics of the song, I have then determined what performance element I want. By listening to the song multiple times, I have chosen whether in the music video it will be a narrative performance or when the artist is singing to the song. This will help me when editing my music video because I can use it as a guideline to when I want it to jump cut to the performance or the narrative. It also helps me to plan out the narrative storyline. The different cuts to the narrative to performance will help me to plan a storyline that will fit and be in time with the song.
