Another influence for my short was the Montage scene from Season 1 episode 2 of Joe Penhall’s ‘MINDHUNTER”. The sequence here is intuitively timed to the appropriately chosen music and flows seamlessly. Shots are collected and neatly framed to establish a passing of time (an array of different cars in front of different hotels are framed identically, as are plates of diner food and coffees being served) in a manner that is enjoyable and even amusing at times. The sequence is well thought out and fills the gap better than a simple cut, by using the shots to develop the relationships of the two protagonists.
Whilst my short does not use timing in the same way due to a lack of music, the use of progressive shots identically framed is seen in my work, particularly towards the end- a quick shot of a mouth is followed by the same mouth repeated with a ‘joint’ and then again with the ‘joint’ lit.
