Chapter 407: Camerons failed editing method(2/2)
Cameron glanced at Ronald and was greatly surprised. Just as Ronald predicted, with this method of one frame per second, the final film could not be watched smoothly at all. Every frame was omitted.
The whole picture is shouting silently, you can't cut me off.
Sometimes when Schwarzenegger reaches out to shoot, there will be an obvious frame skip. Sometimes when Linda Hamilton speaks, there will be an unnatural pause.
The most amazing thing is that one frame was cut right in the middle of the transition. It was supposed to have no impact. But while watching it, Cameron clearly felt that the rhythm here was wrong. Even if it was 24
The shortage of a fraction of a second will also make the audience collectively distracted at that time.
This may not be a big deal in those shoddy small productions. But in such a carefully crafted action special effects blockbuster, any rhythm flaws will cause adverse box office effects.
"Okay, I'm convinced. It really doesn't work." Cameron quickly admitted his mistake and immediately called the lab to ask the lab to send another corresponding set of working film.
"Hahaha, I am not good at model special effects, but you are not good at editing technology."
"What should I do? There are still five minutes left. I really don't know where to cut it..." Cameron held his head and thought hard.
This is different from the previous movie "Abyss". Abyss is already too long, so it is impossible to schedule two rounds of movies during the evening rush hour. Terminator 2 is a typical commercial blockbuster, and theaters only have a two-hour time slot so that they can get in after get off work. An extra round of screenings will be arranged during the peak period.
A difference of five minutes, plus ten minutes of cleaning and resting time, would cause the theater to lose one audience for one screening. There was no way Carloco would allow such a thing to happen.
"Play it again and let me take a look."
Ronald was in the screening room and watched it from the beginning without adding the final music and the opening and closing credits of "Terminator 2: Judgment Day."
"The rhythm of this movie is really good...", Ronald praised in his heart. The theme of this movie is actually much deeper than the first one. It explores the possibility of avoiding nuclear war and the confrontation brought about by the Cold War.
and prosperity brought by peace, and other themes of human nature.
But the movie doesn't have any preaching elements, everything is hidden in the intense storyline. It's exactly the kind of best movie Roger Corman said.
"I think you might as well cut this section..." Ronald said after being silent for a few minutes.
"This..." Cameron was a little surprised.
The scene Ronald is referring to is when Kyle Reese, the sacrificed character played by his buddy Michael Biehn in the first movie, appears in the dream of Sarah Connor, played by Linda Hamilton, and persuades her to work for peace.
The future without nuclear war and robot war, for the children, and the plot of cooperation with the T-800.
"If there is anything that can be cut without affecting the audience's understanding, it is this section..." Ronald understood that Carmelo may not have known that this section could be cut. But in his heart, he was still influenced by the first Terminator.
Influence, subconsciously I hope there is some connection between this and the first part.
But "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" is a complete independent movie. I have not seen the first part, and it does not affect their understanding of the second part at all. After all, eight years have passed, and it is difficult for ordinary viewers to remember it.
The complete plot of the first part.
"Okay, let's just cut it..." Cameron was a little downhearted. Originally, he wanted to make two movies into one big production, but he couldn't find a place in Hollywood that could show a five-hour movie.
Chapter completed!
