I've been doing many experiments with filming and especially the editing part. My conclusion is that SE Asian cultures (Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, and few others) are more patience, relax, appreciative and exploratory when it comes to watching motion picture. The longer the shot (edit) the better visually. Developed Western cultures are cutting footage faster and shorter. The Japanese are cutting it faster but there's a momentum, pause, and expectation of the outcome, like Dragon Ball Z. Even Middle Eastern cultures are very basic when it comes to the pace of editing. Many of us are too caught up with low light and resolution of a camera but forget or disregard entirely about the importance of editing and even lighting. As a filmmaker we must remember that light is a gift and darkness is an obstacle but luckily we have instruments and fixtures to control and manipulate the dark. Then there's sound, where many of us use music to lift or polish the footage up. We can shoot randomly and inter cut and montage and put in a very good music and it can still become a master piece. Well, I won't go into much details and the boring parts. I do not know where to start the topic. I hope this is the proper place.
These are from one of my travel vault. Roughly cut and no music. 7D. Does it bore you? Does it want you to fast forward? How much shorter or longer if you have to cut? Does it value you or fly pass by and never think of it again?
