s01e01:
The first scene with the Inquisitor and Vader needs a better transition. The close up shot of the inquisitor builds up to his eyes being revealed, but because of the very sudden fade out that reveal does not have enough room to breath. I would either give they “eye reveal” a bit more time to sink in or just show him from the back, not cutting to the close up of the face at all. (which would make the last scene the first time we see his face, which would be kinda neat)
I’ve played with this transition a lot. I found when we jump from the back of the inquisitor to Ezra it feels a bit jarring and the building music doesn’t have a chance to resolve.
I don’t think it’s perfect but the transition is the length of the original show and the same (just to a different scene).
I might play around with it some more but from what Ive experimented with I think I’ve already got the best transition (without having to rescore anything).
The scene with Ezra returning the lightsaber and joining the crew also needs a bit more room to breath before it cuts away.
I’d love to get some suggestions for this as I don’t think I’ve cut anything around this part so I’m not sure what I could use to extend this moment. I do agree though!
Last small thing: around 12:00 there is an establishing shot of the full city that goes by way too fast. I would either take that out or prolong it.
I’ll check that out and see what I can do. 😃
All in all, a very good job, the rest flowed wonderfully. 😃
Thanks for all your input! It’s much appreciated! 😃
