When an editor cuts to a soundtrack it is almost like he is
editing music as he would edit shots. A change in the music is made which
stimulates a new visual idea. For example I have used run Lola run as an
example, at 12:45 there is a beat in the music that signifies a change of
scenery on screen. The shot cut from animation back to real footage. It makes the audience feel as though they can
follow what is happening on screen as the music helps the audience create a
certain visual image in their head. One emphasises the other.
Another example of this happening in run Lola run presents
itself at 16:51; Lola is running through the street, the editor has then cut
the shot to someone’s reaction of her running and then them crashing their car.
The soundtrack changes along with the change in shot. This helps the audience
understand there has been a change in visuals on the screen.
