Why music for picture needs spotting
Spotting is the process of deciding where music starts and stops in a film or video and what it should do emotionally. Music can support a scene, contrast with it or stay out of the way of dialogue. Composers and editors work to hit points, align cuts with the beat, and keep the mix below speech. Documenting each cue's purpose and timing avoids confusion during revisions.
