After
rearranging the content, I still had twelve minutes, but I realized
that I wanted this film to be more around the neighborhood of less
than ten minutes total (with the title sequence, credits, and other
filler material to divide the film). Therefore, I set as a goal to
cut the twelve minutes down to eight minutes. Eight minutes would
give me enough time to include introductions, credits, transitions,
and any other last minute additions that I might not have considered
earlier.
Since
this wasn't a comedy, I cut out one shot that I hoped would get a
laugh. After thinking about it, I thought it would be foolish to have
only one mediocre laugh for the whole film. (I'm still debating this;
maybe I should have kept it in.) I also cut out a large section where
Ramon discussed his history in Chile, and his relationship with
Chile. I also cut a few little things here and there. To be sure,
these were all things that I thought were interesting, but in cutting
them out, I realized that I was giving my film a bit more focus, and
direction. To be sure, I think that even ten minutes is a long film,
and that many viewers will loose attention before that.
Another
section that I decided to cut out was in regards to some of Ramon's
other side projects. Besides music, he is working a lot in prose
writing, and even historical writing, but I decided to cut out some
of those things from the film.
