The music you select will drive the pace of your production. Even if only used as bed music, the soundtrack you choose to use needs to match the timing and pace of your edits. A slow-paced song lends itself to longer shots and soft, slow transitions, like dissolves. Upbeat, fast-paced music fits best with quick, short shots, whip pans and cuts, not fades. When hyper-fast edits are mismatched with slow, plodding music or vice versa, the pace doesn’t play properly. You have a mismatch. Select a soundtrack that sets the right pace for the piece, and edit your visuals to match the pace of the music.
