tips (/tutorial) for the bitter sweet symphony trend if you want to include more clips or do parallels.

1. i saw 2 versions of the audio, one was a bit longer which helped!

2. for the longer audio i will put the beats below & how i grouped them

Beats:

long, long short, short, long short, short, long short, short, long

[repeat 3x total, each is a "section" of the music that feels like it goes together]

long, long short, short, long

outro

Parallels:

if you want to get fancy, it was challenging but SO fun to clip together not just the actor's different media but PARALLELS BETWEEN THEM!

how i did it:

1. download a shit ton of their stuff (scps, yt) & clip out any moment that stands out such as movement or a memorable theme (food, bikes, etc.)

2. review the clipped items looking for parallels & group them together.

3. list out each group & how many parallel clips you have (only count distinct ones ex. if you have 2 options of a similar clip but would only use the better 1, count it once).

4. sort into categories: 2 or 3+

you need 38 clips total. FOUR groupings of 2 & TEN groupings of 3.

if you have too few groups of *2*, decide which group(s) of 3+ you can cut down to 2.

if you have too few groups of *3*, decide which groups of 2 you could either add to or use one clip for both the beginning & end of the section.

ex: in my edit, i had 2 clips of chars being bullied, but i needed a group of 3 so i edited it like this:

- clip 1 chars being yanked - clip 2 char hitting ground - clip 1 chars hitting ground

once both 2 & 3+ groups have enough, pare down any extras you have. consider which ones go nicely together in the overarching sections (one group of 2 + three groups of 3) as well as which ones have clips that pair the best (similar motions that could flow into each other or strong imagery).

ex from mine:

flow: - char shooting w a bow + char hit with arrow - headbanging (clip 1 start of headbang, clip 2 middle, clip 3 end, so it looks like one motion) - 2 chars pushing someone (running, then push) - biking left, middle, then swooping to the right - chars turning to gaze at someone

imagery: - actor (young) w video camera + headline of actor (older) first directing role - chars eating pizza - groups walking at school - chars smiling

both: - chars kissing (moving in, kiss, reaction) - chars drinking (moving up to lips, moving down)

grouping the sections looked like:

1: variety of types of work (actor, director, musician)

2: iconic imagery - pushing, bullying, biking, food

3: care for other chars - looking up for news in waiting room, longing gazes, kisses

4: happy ending: drinking beers, smiling ⬇

as a bonus, #3 showed the care of two characters (mike & will) followed by mike kissing el, 2 other chars (boys) kissing, then mike's stunned "i might be gay" reaction ... then happiness 🤭 STORYTELLING!
