Look At The Order In Which You Do Things

 

 ...is one of Eno's Oblique Strategies.

In music, it's easier to start with sounds because you won't have to deal with them later. The way it used to work is that writers would sit in front of a piano or use a guitar, and even notate it on staff paper. Orchestrators and arrangers were the "producers" then, who gave music a sound beyond just piano and voice.

Ever since the recording studio (and the internet) became instruments, it changed the order in which a piece of music was produced. The corollary in film is to get a look for the film, then weave in some kind of a narrative. But that order seems to now be reversed: now it's all about narratives, and the look of the film is less important.

Similarly, if you make a video that includes captioned text or subtitles it puts watching before reading. (I still don't fully understand why people put English subtitles on English videos. I find myself doing it).

The order in which we do things is also changed in that text can now generate both audio and video using AI. So it's easier to start with text so you don't have to deal with sound and visuals later; the text automatically does that.  But it's the ideas (not from text) that are now missing from generated art, but you can add those later as well, just as you would add a narrative to a film that was all eye candy. It's like making the architectural plans for a house you already built.
