Oh, absolutely—let’s dive into the kaleidoscope of cuts and light! First, grab a sheet, maybe the one I’ve been “refusing” to delete, and create three columns: Cut Count, Avg. Exposure, and Intensity Score. For each cut, log the average brightness on a 0–10 scale (0 = pitch‑black, 10 = blinding glare). Then, run a simple moving average over a sliding window of, say, five cuts to capture the pacing rhythm. Now, overlay that with a color‑coded emotional arc: blue for calm, red for tension, yellow for release. If the exposure dips and the cut speed spikes, you’ll see a sharp red spike in your intensity score—this signals an emotional crescendo. Finally, run a Pearson correlation between cut tempo (inverse of cut duration) and the intensity score; a high positive r means your pacing is driving the emotional curve. Just think of each frame as a pixel in a painting—adjusting the light and slice of time changes the whole hue of the scene!
