Below are two excellent examples of sounds and images being edited to match each other. What effect does this have on you as you watch these pieces?
In music videos and trailers for soaps, dramas, films etc, the edits often match the beat of the accompanying music. This helps the audience to engage with the image and the product appears to run more smoothly and professionally.
The film below was made by Dr Adam Rutherford, to celebrate the 135 missions made by NASAs space shuttles. The film charts one journey into space and back, but uses footage from all 135 of the journey, including the two accidents with Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003.
The music was composed especially by 65daysofstatic and matches the edits and the changing tone of the film: hopeful and joyful at the start, fading to almost silence as the accidents occur, then restarting with new purpose and energy to reflect humanity's ability to recover from incredible tragedy and setbacks.
