Cue Sheets

Cue Sheet 1

For each of my film excerpts, I prepared cue sheets to establish the main hitpoints in which music enters or causes a desired effect. Cue sheets are used to directly identify time down to the exact frame per second that a sound is to be heard, they identify what sound it is that is to be produced, how long that sound is to last for and any extra comments or directions. Writing up a cue sheet for me was ideal for knowing where each musical theme was to enter and finish and where I thought certain changes in camera shot or scene change could benefit from becoming musical hitpoints for a change in music, melody or adding chords or harmony such as toward the end of Excerpt One where chords played on piano occur directly on the camera shot change to add to the shock/chaotic factor of the piece and to develop the suspense within the music.
