Directions Unit: Post-production - Running time

Adding all the clips together gave me a total running time of 6 minutes 8 seconds.

The film has to be around 4 minutes.

So there's a lot of cutting to be done.

The longest shot was shot 18 (where the protagonist walks up a staircase). This shot was 1 minute 10 seconds! over a quarter of the films' length.

So I had to cut a huge chunk off of it.

I also removed shots 15 and 17 as well as cutting 9 seconds out of shot 10.

So far the film is now 4 minutes and 59 seconds.

 Looks like a directors' cut is needed too.


I've now cut shot 9 (where protagonist washes them-self): removing 14 seconds from the shot.
