I spent most of the day getting used to the understated elements of the footage for The Assassination of Chicago’s Mayor. I’m looking for the natural cadence of the film. I like to rough out the edit while I outline the music in an attempt to find the movie’s idiosyncratic pacing. The tone and tempo of the performances captured to screen should fully inform the natural flow of the experience.
The image above is the basic musical gesture I settled on.
