Visceral emotional phrasing
Posted: Mon Jul 18, 2016 9:10 pm
Hi all,
I need more of an explanation on a return I got:
"Visceral emotional phrasing tends to be a more relied upon lyrical approach by the powers at be within film/tv. The idea is that emotional phrasing will allow the song to loosely support film/tv scenes. "
On the song I wrote for the cue, I painted too many word pictures. They could interfere with a scene. That part I'm getting. But does "visceral emotional phrasing" mean that I'm relying heavily on repeating emotional phrases like "I love you," or "talk to me," or "missing you now," that sort of thing. Maybe I shouldn't have picked cliches. I do get the feeling that this really means I should repeat the same words over and over. For example, a plaintive cue crying "why? why? why?" a lot.
Thanks for your thoughts. Also let me know if I should have posted this someplace else. I couldn't quite figure out where to post it.
Best,
Wendy Landers
