“Cool, what are the main elements you plan to cut from your edit?”
A lot of filler, while making sure to keep the breather - as a screenwriter I know how to apply the “tension & release” principle…
Combining ep 3 & 7 already cut the flashback scenes in half…
I took care to keep in mind, and on screen, the tragedy of Sol’s demise, while trying to create empathy with Osha (which is non existent at the moment!).
The actual conclusion of the episode 8 is draging too long, for my taste, Sol is dead… Osha is escaping, so I reduced in lenght the scene under the tree… I used however some shots under the tree that I cross-cut during the conversation with Vernestra - as quick visual flashback, suggesting how maybe, Mae don’t remember anything…
I also used a lot of ovelapping sound editing between scenes, J-cut and L-cut…
I while try to compile the modifications that I’ve made soon.
The actual lenght is 2hrs 56min with credits and “fan edit notice”
All in all, I rearranged the continuity a lot…
