Overview
“In this lesson I will show you how, based on this first idea, I build a structure in relation to the song, the lyrics, its timing and its rhythm, and, finally, I write a script where I capture everything we see scene by scene. . I usually rely on images, I complement the script with photographs that define what I imagine for the planes and scenes. Writing the script is not always something that comes off the hook. Give yourself time, relax, listen to the song as many times as you need, go out for some fresh air and take it up again, surely in the most unexpected places you will get new ideas and images to incorporate into the story.
