We shot Scene 5 Sunday before last and I got it edited this weekend. We worked for six hours to shoot the scene and the edited version is 4 minutes and 20 seconds long. In those six hours we did 71 shots. The final scene has 47 cuts for an average shot length of 5.5 seconds. I did not count which of the 71 shots were used but I’d guess fewer than half. The editing is not complete as the color correction is only partially done, the audio is not balanced out, no music but I do like the way the scene unfolds. The actors are so good. The crew so patient and valuable.
