Music for videos 🎵🎥
When searching for royalty free music for videos, I look at the wave file first. The visual wave file tells me if it starts slow or fast and if there are breathable moments in the song.
The changes in music allow for different pacing of videos. Quick cuts and jump cuts, drone shots and Timelapse. Music is the backbone to visuals and must be paid the utmost attention to have a cohesive story.
Tip: Natural transitions > Templates
Use your framing from extreme close-ups to super wides and then a tracking or hero shot for example.
