FILM SCHOOL 101 - THOUGHT FOR THE DAY 22ND AUGUST.
START LATE
A film story should start as late as possible and occur over the shortest reasonable span of time.
In individual scenes, don’t waste valuable time on unnecessary entrances, introductions and hellos.
See if a scene can be started in the middle.
Often a scene has a soft start and unnecessary ending - you can strengthen by cutting the first two, and often last two lines of dialogue.
