In the past days, I have trying to trim down the length of my script, not wanting to be rushing through shooting or cutting scenes that i deemed were "crucial" for the story to progress naturally within my genre, experiment with the codes of inner reflecting with the character and the convention of portraying the story more as a journey one vs. one's mind, seeing that great debacle of the protagonist suffering through actions done by themselves, many times, seemingly, voluntarily. That said, all of those events having to be accounted for seem to still be well over what the time mark is.
While i may not be completely done with my editing process and will research about it further in following posts, i have an idea to trim down the amount of space in a page certain of the events happening take, helping reduce my stress and anxiousness over having too many pages. For that, since i see my scene as more of a montage, a series of consecutive scenes, than one with their each individual focus, like it seems that i done in the following scenes in my script.
The way that i written it, taking an entire page, it does not help me to continue on after it, since this apart only accounts for some of my Act 2. In that way I at least have found a page for scriptwriters that details the way to write an effective montage. The definition of it is a fast-paced technique to select multiple scenes and use editing and put them together to form a whole. It seems fairly simple, starting with montage, introduce what it wants to be appeared in it through a bulleted list and finish by indicating the end, if it is a single location one, what i will do. Here is my previous information through this technique:I have been able to cut the space occupied on the page by at least half, very happy of the results to know how to know to tell my story to the point, still getting the nuances of explaining and building up on the climax. I will be researching more forms of editing to present a final first draft.
