Hey, I’ve been thinking about how the rhythm of a film scene can be broken down into a kind of equation, and I thought it might be interesting to compare that with your exacting shooting style.
Interesting concept. Rhythm is like a sequence of beats, and my shooting style is all about aligning each beat with the script—no improvisation, no surprises. If you want to write that equation, I can help check its accuracy.
Sounds good, I’ll draft a simple formula first and then we can tweak the variables to match your precision‑driven workflow.
Alright, draft it and send it over. I'll check it for consistency and make sure every variable aligns with the script and my three‑pen system. No room for error.
Sure, here’s a quick draft:
**Scene Rhythm Score (S) = Σ (Beat i × Weight i)**
Where each Beat i is a scripted beat, and Weight i reflects how strongly that beat drives the scene (0–1). Let me know if the notation or the weights need tightening.
Good start. Just remember each Beat i should also have a defined duration; otherwise the weight can’t be applied consistently. Also, keep the sum of weights at 1 so the total score stays within a predictable range. That’s all.
Got it—I'll add duration to each Beat i and normalize the weights so they sum to one. That keeps the score stable and matches your exacting style.
