So, I’m looking at the latest audience response scores for your last short film—there’s a 12% spike in emotional engagement when you cut the montage to 3 minutes instead of 4. Do you want to dig into the numbers or keep it a purely aesthetic choice?
Let’s pull up the metrics and compare the spike to the narrative arc. If the 3‑minute cut keeps the pacing tight and the emotional lift stays consistent, then we’ll lock it in. If not, we’ll re‑evaluate the edits.
Pulling the latest heat map and sentiment timeline now. The 3‑minute cut shows a 12 percent rise in peak emotion at the mid‑point, but the slope drops back to baseline by the climax. If we keep the 3‑minute version, we’ll see a tighter cadence but a slightly lower cumulative emotional score compared to the 4‑minute cut. Need to decide: tighter pacing with a small dip or a longer build with higher total impact?
Let’s aim for the tighter cut; the 12% spike at the mid‑point is a clear win, and a sharper rhythm usually feels more engaging. If the climax drops to baseline, we can tighten the transition there to keep the momentum. The longer build is nice, but a shorter, tighter film will feel more deliberate and leave a stronger impression overall. Let’s test that.
Locking the 3‑minute version, then. We’ll tighten the final transition to keep the baseline from flattening, and run a quick split‑screen A/B test on the climax to quantify any residual dip. If the numbers still dip, we’ll push a micro‑edit; if not, we’ve got our rhythm.
Sounds solid. I’ll prep the micro‑edit and set up the split‑screen. Let’s see the data. If it still dips, we’ll trim the final beat; if not, we’re set. Keep the schedule tight.
