4/4 #DocumentaryEdit Week2 Day5: this scene brought the film to 20 minutes. And ends with the impossible success of our protagonists. Ready to face an even bigger challenge.
3/4 #DocumentaryEdit Week2 Day5: the tools for success are 1) quality of the storytellers, 2) the balance of details (too many bad/boring ) and 3) pace of the cutting. Don’t drag it out. Keep it moving. Remember viewers come to #documentary with knowledge of the subject. Use that
2/4 #DocumentaryEdit Week2 Day5: This first challenge scene is the second big hook to capture the viewer. Get it right and you have them for the rest of the film. In #documentary the facts of the story are what they are. Using them to create this dramatic moment is tricky.
1/4 #DocumentaryEdit Week2 Day5. After 3 days of reworking the first 15 minutes we moved onto the next scene. Up until now we’ve set the stakes & aspirations of our protagonists & apparent antagonistic forces. Now we build the scene of their first seemingly impossible challenge.
3/3 #DocumentaryEdit Week2 Day3. Yesterday we realized we were relying on one visual trope too often making us rethink the visual image system. Expanding it to accommodate the needs of the narrative. We also cut and changes music cues. More about that later.
2/3 #DocumentaryEdit Week2 Day3. Another reason to keep fine cutting is that one learns things about the cut. The grammar, the visual style, the pace of the cutting, what works & more importantly what’s not working informs future scenes. Spending time now for faster cutting later
1/3 #DocumentaryEdit Week2 Day3. Went back to the beginning, after cold open and title sequence to smooth out some of the story bumps. This is often something that gets put off but shouldn’t. There’s nothing worse than finding oneself in an impromptu screening with a bumpy cut
3/3 #DocumentaryEdit Week2 Day2: backstories are super important for character development, they give us an understanding of a protagonists life method for decision making. Too early in a cut they are boring(data is not story). To late, they feel like a cheat in a mystery novel.
2/3 #DocumentaryEdit Week2 Day2: pushing the backstory till later brings it closer to the culminating events that close our story. It might feel like character data we’d want to know earlier in the journey. Cutting it in now puts too much emphasis on 1of3 protagonists.
1/3 #DocumentaryEdit Week 2 day 2:backstories. Continue to build narrative following our 3 protagonists. 1 will become central to the story’s end. We decided to put off telling his personal childhood backstory. Interesting decision. Question will it feel out of place later?
Ok #DocumentaryEdit week 2 starts this week. Producer had the cut over the weekend, so I’m sure to get lots of little changes & maybe some restructuring notes.
If you’re finding these interesting, spread the word, I’d appreciate it. Also I think we might do a weekly periscope.
.3/3 #DocumentaryEdit week1. Finally right at the 14 minute mark we have our “people magazine” moment. A sound bite that you know is going to make the viewer laugh, and break their hearts at the same time. Hard to find these bites, much harder to work then in. But they are key.
.1/3 #DocumentaryEdit week1. Have both in cold open. Something most Americans have never seen. The hook to keeping viewers is building unlikely protagonists into compelling characters. Then set up their obstacles. Ones they will overcome. Better if they outrageous. We have that.
