ABSTRACT
A great sense of accomplishment mixed with a good dose of physical and mental exhaustion usually occasions the "wrapping" of a film. At this time, for the good of the film, the director should go away to rest, relax, and cleanse the artistic palate. Many directors hand their film over to an editor for a first assembly or even more. However, many big-budget productions, scenes are cut by an editor while the shooting is going on. Edited shots are now extracted from the camera takes and intercut with other shots, using the director's final visualization before shooting. Music can help enormously to create atmosphere and tension. There are films that are carried by the sound track, but don't count on it. Music is a complement, not a supplement, to the story. It is also very subjective. Most directors will have some idea of the type of music they want for their film, and this is a good place to start.
