DESCRIPTION

The best drama, dance and music videos all start with a story. But, from there, they quickly diverge. Some music videos document a performance, while others create an interpretation of a performance. Some are very clean, while others showcase style over substance. And once you add dance to a music video, the rules change again. In fact, there are an infinite number of ways each of these could be edited.

This webinar looks at the differences between drama, music and dance. Watch as Larry Jordan explores different editing techniques and explains the challenges of editing dance; featuring some lovely break-dance footage from Antics Performance. During this session, you’ll learn:

  • Different types of music videos
  • Walter Murch’s “6 Rules of When to Cut”
  • Norman Hollyn’s “6 Ways to Control Where the Eye Looks”
  • The differences between dance and drama
  • How to edit a multicam musical performance
  • How to sync video to an existing audio track
  • How to decide where to cut – on the best vs. on the performance
