In this week’s show I’ll be going deep into the art of piloting, our ability to immediately change direction after negative feedback about our work. We’ll talk through what exactly pivoting is, how it works, the psychology behind it and how we can use it to our benefit.

Every cut we make, every shot we make longer, every piece of body language we include or exclude has massive repercussions. We’re shaping the experience of the audience with hundreds of these decisions every day. In this episode I break down all the factors at play every time we hit a fork in the road so that we can build the most exciting sequence possible.

We want to build a huge creative filing cabinet in our minds that we can apply to any set of raw footage that comes into our cutting room. I’ll be breaking down the key concepts, techniques and mindsets that we can use when researching and memorising these useful scene models.

We all know that the way we work with directors is essential to our career success but how does that actually work? What are the specific character traits that we need to develop? And what are the creative skills that directors are looking for when choosing who is going to cut their films?
We're getting answers to all those questions and more direct from the source this week with the return of award winning documentary director Suemay Oram. Suemay gives a masterclass of collaborative insight from the other side of the edit suite in the concluding part of her guest appearance on Once Upon a Timeline.

So, what is it and why is it useful? Well, this skill is about identifying, planning and deliberately constructing the subtle visual elements that reinforce the overall arc of the story. Quite simply, we sprinkle elements across the timeline at key points to reinforce the intended reality.
Now, we’ll always have a journey, an arc for our film no matter what it’s duration but that journey will need to be made up of a mixture of both obvious and subtle narrative and visual cues for the audience to guide them through the experience. And this week, we’re going to be focusing on the subtle side of that equation.
-
People change when they know there is a camera pointed at them and this causes all kinds of issues for us editors, especially in non scripted editing. One of the fundamental laws of our art form is the create believable performances on screen otherwise the suspension of disbelief is broken and the audience switch off.
On this weeks episode of Once Upon a Timeline we talk through the psychology of this effect, it's impact on our work and what we can do it mitigate it.
-
There's a whole bunch of barriers standing in our way in terms of designing and navigating this path successfully. But on this week's show we're going to focus more on the creative residue that needs to be discarded when moving from one to the other.
There are common creative errors, what we at Inside The Edit call Promo-itus, that need to be surgically cut away in order to survive and thrive in the longer durational films. An essential subject to tackle for any budding doc, drama or observational long form editor.

The pressure was immense, the hours were punishing and the shooting ratio was enormous. They had air craft carriers, F-18’s fighter jets, insane arial sequences, Covid lockdown, Tom Cruise was starring, Jerry Bruckheimer producing, Joe Kosinski directing and hundreds of millions of dollars on the line. No pressure.
How the hell did Eddie Hamilton and the Top Gun Maverick Team pull it off? Well, he’s back on the show to tell us all.

There are a huge array of psychological, behavioural, action and dialogue based considerations we need to go through in order to get the best elements onto the timeline.
In this week's episode of Once Upon a timeline Paddy breaks down all of these factors in detail and provides editors with a useful exercise to do in order to squeeze every last bit of high end content out of the raw footage.
-
There is a psychological and subconscious grading system with which the mind views new images and what it thinks is most important within a new shot. Much of it is the result of our evolution over thousands of years and understanding this order and priority list is a key insight for the professional editor. Join Paddy for an entertaining journey through the mind of the audience and the emotional impact of how they see our work.
