I'm about 98% sure that guy ate his own toast. The victim said it himself, he doesn't like the crust. If he ate his own toast, he would certainly leave the crust, just as the culprit did. Additionally, I know from experience that toast can be eaten remarkably quickly. There would be no problem for the guy to eat one piece of toast on the way to the bathroom, and then another on the way back to the kitchen. This could all be done within 2 minutes, ESPECIALLY if he did the unsanitary act of eating the toast IN the restroom.

There were crumbs left on the plate tho, doesn’t this indicate that at least one piece was eaten above the plate. The only logical explanation is that he fell asleep on the toilet for 1h and 2 minutes as a daylight savings time was coming into effect making him think only 2 mins had past. This is would be when he sleep walked back to the kitchen, ate the toast and walked back to the bathroom.

Good editing makes the story work. See, for example, how some smart editing completely changed the ending of the very first Star Wars movie, helping it become the smash-hit phenomenon we know and love today. Compare that to the prequels and sequels, which were badly written and badly edited. I've seen how better editing can dramatically improve Attack Of The Clones (terrible title BTW).

[@rennycepeda6576]

good editing=entertainment

[@JesseP.Watson]

Editing is the fundamental art-form of film, everything else is an extra - even the photography is subservient to the editing. An editor can make a film with a few newspaper cuttings... or a shaky phone video, anything. Watch a film by someone who thinks acting is the fundamental and hasn't learned anything about editing and it'll be terrible... The inverse can work fine because a good editor can make bad actors look passable. The editing however is too complex for most viewers to understand so it goes generally unnoticed. ...As in music the songwriter goes unnoticed... everyone applauds the singer.

[@mrkaufmanMTB]

@@JesseP.Watson true...good editing is supposed to go unnoticed though however, it does get applauded, best film editing is an oscar category.

You forgot a couple of things: 1 - have a bunch of silent moments in the interviews where no one's saying anything and they're just staring, which is supposed to make you feel like the moment's heavy and emotional. 2 - have people repeat the same thing with different wording, to make the documentary seem like it has more content. 3 - include ocasional personal day to day experiences, like one of the interviewees playing with their kids or something, to increase the emotional impact of whatever they're talking about, or just going to the store to fetch some bread, to humanize them, even though none of these things is remotely relevant for what they're talking about. 4 - (Optional Bonus) have all interviewees with shared opinions, to provide what can potentially be misconceived by the viewer as an objective truth. 5 - (credits to: UngusBungus) The interviewee saying "excuse me" or "sorry" and then taking a deep breath and talking while crying some.

Especially Rembrandt lighting lol, from someone who just graduated from film school I would have to agree with you!

Dear lord this is FANTASTIC! Cheers to you...oh wait, that’s a different kind of toast.

My eyes were glued to this story it's very suspenseful. Great editing by the way. Keep it up.

[@LuminousLives]

Utterly brilliant! Thoroughly enjoyed.

[@Gencoil]

It'd be hilarious if someone made a full length fake documentary like this, then somehow managed to sneak it into Netflix via an insider contact.

[@thethmooteresa]

Now that is a brilliant idea

that's just american vandal

i can’t stop laughing at “i like butter” randomly in the middle of the most climactic moment

[@strawberryeventing1738]

I LOVE FREAKING BUTTER.

[@WhuDhat]

@@strawberryeventing1738 ever tried drinking it? warm ofc. I remember when there was a 5lb mega stick of boter (literally an XXXL stick, same proportions just waaayyy oversized) some real 'organic' stuff that was. but it was good, so damn good. We had a large excess of dinner rolls from a certain holiday dinner and I took to eating them, with boter of course. every time I would make some I would gently cut them in half, pull the boter out of the cooler, and shave off a bit to put on the rolls, then insert in the micronda shortly. but every time I made them ( & this was alot of times b.t.w. when I said excess I was talking about hundreds, we literally took an offer for another cooler for free just to put the rolls in it we had so damned many [but we're not wasteful!]

What's funny is Netflix already has their own parody of this style. It's called American Vandal and it's one of the most underrated shows I've ever seen.

this show is ELITE

I was about to write the same comment; AV was and still is one of the very best netflix originals.

The AV team are releasing a new show this week called “Players.” It looks very good.

@@manishholla I'm sure they've been editing things every since things went digital (70's or 80's). Before that they'd even just directly make changes to the film.

[@returnoftheredeye]

You absolutely aced every element of this, but the score was the star.

[@Ms.Delphine1204]

🤣This is totally what Netflix has been doing the past few years. You get all excited and settled in with snacks for a good show only to be watching a doc about literally NOTHING. Then you have to spend another half hour letting your snacks change temp while searching for something better to watch!

A wide shot with the chair, lighting equipment and boom mic visible in frame while saying "is this thing rolling?", then a quick cut to the correct shot...

[@miefelix]

This is a truly amazing video the cinematography and editing and humor!

[@oldestdreamja]

I can't believe a well-edited musical, verbal, and visual formula in a video can make me want to sit here, not doing my homework, and watch half-hour long documentary about who ate the toast.

[@eternalYTC]

It's crazy honestly. The importance or cinematics not going off track, crisp clear audio and multiple angle changes. Kinda what I've tried to do with my first video, even though it is more video essay based business storytelling rather than showing my face.

[@SaloCh]

I mean it's not very hard to make _me_ stop doing my homework...

[@TheoneandonlyMFYE]

The other thing you need is him talking about his mom of some other character And the screen cuts to the mom sitting down, and the crew kinda getting her ready, like a mic check or something. I swear this happens in like every Netflix documentary.

[@hansonel]

This. Don't forget showing the crew brushing a little powder on her face for the lighting too.
