Hey TGE!! I know this is 2 months late, but would you ever consider: Going on IMDBs top 100 and comparing the editing from 1 film from the 1st / 10th best film, and another from the 90th / 100th Best film. Both of them would have to be the same Genre I suppose. I'm curious to know what the differences are between the 5th best movie ever rated and say the 95th best movie, I suppose every movie in the top 100 is a good movie. I see alot of old movies, black and white on some of these lists, it's like making your movie look old or black and white almost guarantees to Add some points to a review, yet some of the movies are, in my opinion (which is worth NOTHING lol) ... are not very good, I understand with some of them, they are artistic but some are just lazy. sorry for the long comment, I'm at work waiting for something to happen lol so I'm rushing through my comment, so I apologise if if made some errors. or a review of an old Black and white, along side a new black and white. sorry if I sound dumb I normally take my time with my comments lmao 🤣 🤪 if I didn't make sense then just let me know and I will translate when I'm home in English lol I know your channel is getting big now so I understand if you don't reply, and if you have already done this then I would love a link please! "How animated movies use Blocking" how they choose what camera angles to use Things animated movies can do, that live can't (If anything) "How Editing has changed since the 90s" "How editing has evolved since the beginning" lol i have a hell of a load more, I just don't know what to do with them haha plus they may be terrible so il leave it at that. have a nice day my friend, thank younfor sharing your videos, your input has really helped me grow as a film maker, I hope to start my own channel soon, starting with tours on the BooBoo Bus 🚑 with my own short films in time that I've made with my community, hopefully one day you will hear my name being shouted out or thanked by another youtuber because I helped someone, or even better would be helping you 😊 maybe one day, we all have dreams that make no sense to others lol. anyway, sorry for such a long comment.

You can write the story and film it, but the editor is still going to be the one to put it all together and tell the story. So it will never be the story exactly the way you wanted to tell it.” I then asked, but what if I edit it myself? He said “very few directors in the world get to write, direct, and edit their own stuff without any oversight, and the few that do aren’t very good because they can’t take input from other people.” He went on to say that “making movies or any kind of media is a collaborative process with multiple people contributing their ideas. So the final product will never be exactly what you imagined, but that’s a good thing because it improves the final product.” A couple days later he brought in another editor to do their own edit of the project we were working on. Their edit was completely different from mine and the story didn’t make any sense to me, but I still ended up including some of their changes in the final edit. I didn’t realise at the time, but part of the reason why he brought in the second editor was to give me a taste of what it was like to not be in control of the edit

If you are into films somehow, you should watch every movie at least twice. First time to read the story through the dialogue, Second - to enjoy actual cinema. If you are serious about films (as advanced active viewer or as filmmaker) - rewatch it again with director comments and again and again, like Orson Welles rewatched Stagecoach by John Ford and after that shot Citizen Kane. But every great film that drives you somehow should be admired at least twice. I passively rewatched Pulp Fiction at least 40 times but actively 3 times and 2 times without ANY sound, and I will actively rewatch it without video at least once in a while. Its a hard work I have to say ;)

@@sketchleaf7698 thats such a backwards way of thinking though. Yes you get more showings per day, but that only matters if people want to see it. If you cut a movie to shit and it gets destroyed by critics, nobody will go see it and it won't matter how many showings per day you have. Conversely if you have a long movie that is incredibly popular it will stay in theaters longer and make up the difference. Most of the highest grossing movies of all time are over 2.5 hours. And when you are talking about a small movie like this, the greatest asset you can have is word of mouth.

My guess is the extended version cuts to close up of Anna Paquin despite the continuity error with hands. The studio version cuts to the teachers reaction. The extended version goes for emotion and creating emphaty with Paquin's character whereas the studio version saves the continuity. And i agree that this might be edited by Thelma Schoonmaker because i noticesd a lot of this kind of edits in her films especially table scenes in goodfellas
@carlinparkin1764 жыл бұрын
Hmm yeah. I didn't notice the discontinuity on the hands on the first watch, only noticed (and found it obvious) when it was pointed out! I think I didn't notice because the rhythm of her words and the emotion in them had an easy flow to them. I guess a takeaway from Thelma's technique here would be that continuity should be considered but should take a backseat to emotion when it feels right.
@MrStufletcher3 жыл бұрын
Yeah - I think the main reason for this edit was it shortens (again) we get to the reaction a second or 2 sooner. I love that the discontinuity with the hands doesn't matter because this isn't where the audience is focussed on. When I started editing I used to freak out over discontinuity - but there are other things more important than continuity which keep the FLOW going through edits. Dynamic movement can get mixed up, but if the general feel is the same over the edit it is fine. I guess it probably the same for TRUTH in a scene. I watched "Carlito's Way" many times before I realised all the discontinuity every time there is a 2 shot cutting to a 2 shot. Took me about 12 watches to spot them, because I was always caught in the emotion. Also the is something beautiful about cutting from a 2 shot to a 2 shot. Probably just because it's so different to standard, boring HW editing.
@epontius2 жыл бұрын
I once saw a video about Martin Scorsee's style of editing choosing shots that conveyed the best emotion, performance and story, rather than worrying about continuity. The idea being that if the story and performance is good enough no one is paying attention much to continuity as they are so captivated. They illustrated this with a scene from Goodfellas in which the position of bottles, amount of liquid in glasses, length of cigars, etc... changes from shot to shot as the editor picked the best shots for the story and didn't worry about continuity. I think for most people watching this bit in the extended version of Margaret here, they didn't notice the continuity error with her arms until the re-watched it and paid attention. One other thing that makes this particular editing choice a good one is Anna's body language, not only does she say "around me" in the dialog, but her arms are literally wrapped around her. I think that's a powerful subconscious cue that shows the brilliance of the editor with the extended version.

Sadly, studios ruining films happens more than many people may know. I worked on a comedy that was very adult oriented. When we watched the movie at the studio, everyone laughed and enjoyed the film. However, because the film had mostly adult oriented humor, the studio was afraid that it wouldn't translate to ticket sales. As a result, a PG-13 cut was made and it completely sucked the movie dry of any humor. Suffice it to say, the movie bombed at the box office. I was very disappointed knowing that the original cut was very entertaining. But, the studio's fear around money drove them to cut out the best parts of film. It was like they blindly chopped it up without taking the humor - the point of a comedy - into consideration. It's one of the reasons that I think many filmmakers turn to crowdfunding for their films. The last feature I was a camera man on, was mostly crowdfunded except for the last 4 months of live shooting. And it was also the most enjoyable experience I ever had working on a film out of the 50+ movies I've worked on. The writer/editor/director of that film is writing a new film. We are excited about shooting it. I wish studios had more faith in their productions. Situations like with "Margaret" may happen a lot less often.

The extended version is cut to an emotional truth not a physical action (continuity) truth, so after she says "am I even who I am but what's going on inside me..." (wider shot) the next cut is a medium shot favouring her, not the other male actor, with her arms wrapped around herself, in a soothing manner as she delivers the line with a pained expression "or all around me"; it's like the emotion of her action, her pained self soothing matches directly with the line "or all around me" like she's scared of her place in the world + her the look on her face clearly amplifies this.

The mindset of a bunch of these executives is all off, even from a profit standpoint. If your movie is a masterpiece at 3 hours, I will decide to invest 3 hours of my time to watch it. If a movie is mediocre or even just okay, I’m not gonna waste _2 1/2 hours_ to sit through it. You’re gonna make more money off of a well-reviewed movie with fewer daily showings than a bad/mediocre movie with a ton of showings. They botched Kingdom of Heaven, they botched this movie, they probably botched Live By Night, they botched a bunch of these movies and for nothing. They made less than they would’ve with a longer runtime. Show both versions to critics and test audiences. If the 3 hour cut is a masterpiece and the 2 1/2 hour cut gets meh reviews, go with the 3 hour. Otherwise, why did they greenlight it in the first place? Just to slip on their shoelaces at the finish line? What’s wrong with these people? Make your money back!

I'm not an editor at all and watch your videos for insight and fun but I will give my thoughts on the extended scene, also I have not seen the movie but will certainly have to. I think the difference is that the studio version cutting to Matt Damon's character takes us albeit briefly from her who is the focus. The cut in the extended version doesn't just keep the camera pointed on her but we can see a change in her posture, specifically her arms. When she says 'Not who I am, but what's going on inside me her arms are by her sides, palms facing us as if to direct us to her body, exposing herself to us so when can see her. Then it cuts to her saying 'All around me' and her arms are wrapped around herself as someone might do for comfort, or when we feel like space is closing in around us. The focus on her and her body/posture illustrate what is being said by her. Visual sub-text almost, very subtle and we probably wouldn't register it unless looking for it. That's my take, which may be utter rubbish as I haven't even seen the movie. Though I should go check it out.

Seeing several of your videos, I think it'd be interesting if you took a look at some big, controversial films of recent years, namely DC films: Batman V. Superman (theatrical vs. ultimate), Suicide Squad (the film infamously experienced a Snyder Cut level of meddling) and Justice League vs. The Snyder Cut. Editing, pacing and timing absolutely has a massive effect on these films and BvS itself is an underrated masterpiece, utterly butchered and wrangled by the studio demanding the darker scenes cut out and a shorter run time so they could have more showings in a day. This attempt at cutting the films shorter, making them funnier, and more made them villified in the comic book and film communities and the Snyder films still receive an overtly negative reception to this day, based on the awful studio-mandated edits to their films. BvS actually flows and feels like there's events going on in the 3hr version, while the 2hr30min version snipped everything that didn't focus on Batman, which in turn ruins EVERYTHING the film is setting up. the 3hr version makes it very apparent why certain things happen and elaborates greatly on characters and motivations.

A novice question: During the filming of a scene, do the directors get the sense of how long it will end up being after the editing, or do they discover during the editing that the way it was shot will require it to be certain length not to lose its intended the effect? (and by that time, all the cast and crew is long gone and it is impossible to redo the scene in a shorter way) I imagine that the reason of doing different (successful) takes is to give the editor options to heighten or suppress the emotions (or in this case, change the length of the final product).

Script length is the key, and there's people called line producers who go through a script and determine how many days and how much money it'll take to shoot. The real problem here isn't really the editing, it's that the director refused a script rewrite to make it possible to make a movie that would fit in the contract. Something like 5 minutes can be massaged and messed with in the editing, but 36 minutes has to come out of the script.

I feel like the person who fucked up here is the line producer. The movie should have never been approved for that length on the contract without a rewrite, and that script length was clearly too long to come in at that time.

Excellent video, but there is another lesson to be learned which a lot of people won't want to hear but might save some pain. If you accept finance to make a film under certain conditions and you don't adhere to those conditions then don't be surprised if the financier insists on having their way. There are a lot of filmmakers who, for example, agree to a budget they never intend to even try to stick to. They then whine when the financier won't just keep handing them extra money without strings. In this case, if you have a script which you agree you can make at a certain length and then go a whole 30 minutes longer then you either massively miscalculated or you were knowingly misleading the studio and just hoping they would accept the increased length they had been misled about. You can't really complain either way if the studio insists on a shorter cut as you didn't fulfil your part of the bargain. Which version is subjectively better is a different matter. For what it's worth, and not having seen the film, but based on this video it sounds like the filmmaker made a couple of very common mistakes - trying to shove too much tangential material into the available space and then falling too much in love with the footage they had shot. It does sound like it has barely relevant threads which hardly even count as subplots and which should have been pruned right back or eliminated entirely, preferably at the script stage but certainly in the edit.

Sydney Pollack and the Jerry Bruckheimer of Arthouse Movies, Scott Rudin also were producers on this. Didn't they have any sway? Rudin in particular used his Final Cut privilege to allow Annihilation to be released in the Director's intended form when the studio didn't want it to be that long.

My guess it has to do with continuity of her hands. In Studio version it cuts to a reaction of Matt Damon, instead of showing what she is feeling. Probably to save hand continuity.

Someone was complaining why this video is cut short and rest of it is on Patreon. Why is that a bad thing? Guy is working his ass off, and is giving you so much in value already for free... and KZbin probably pays peanuts for it. Won’t hurt one bit to pay a few dollars to learn more. Think of paying so much more to film school and they still won’t teach you this efficiently.

So... usually when I see things like this about movies I haven't seen before, the spoilers don't matter because I have already decided whether I want to watch the movie. But not this time, I want to watch it. When i realized that, the video was over. How significant are the spoilers in this video? I imagine they aren't really, but I'd still like to know from people who have seen it. To compare with a movie I have seen, a significant spoiler for Short Term 12 would be knowing what happened to Grace in the past (because the moment when I realised, when she is riding her bike to clear her head, was mindblowing to me). An relatively insignificant one would be knowing what Marcus does in his last scene.

When you have multiple plates spinning and the only mandate is that you keep the plates spinning for a certain amount of time, it's better to limit the number of plates you have to focus on instead of trying to rush between a number more than you can handle. More care and attention can go to your remaining tasks, instead of trying to do as much as possible, then speeding that up.
