Narrative-Driven Music Organization

workflow technique where an editor organizes their music library not by genre or artist, but by the specific emotional and narrative beats of a recurring story structure, such as the Harmon Circle. This pre-categorization allows for rapid, intuitive music selection that is inherently tied to the intended story function of a scene. It transforms the music folder from a simple library into a storytelling toolkit.
