This month’s NSAI-Sponsored Lesson focus on writing for SYNC!
Sync (short for synchronization) is a process where songs combine with moving images– film, TV series, adverts, video games, trailers etc. When writing for Sync, it is important to remember that the music in a scene will always be the supporting role, and its purpose is to support and compliment the mood of the narrative. Consider setting aside some time to sit and listen to your song catalog. Listen to each song closely – How makes you feel? Assign the mood you are feeling to each of your songs as another way to organize your catalog and be ready when the right opportunity comes along!
Here are some great resources provided by Amanda at NSAI HQ to get you started:
“Don’t Overthink” – Brandon Ray on Writing for SYNC (Part 1)
