Hey guys,
I need to learn when to give the audience a moment to feel good and how long that moment is supposed to be.
I understand using a montage if you have a couple of weeks to fill, as in after boy meets girl, but then in many RomComs, there's a couple of extra montages post-mid point where the leads do mildly amusing things, laugh, eat product placement stuff etc.
I would like to execute this well, but I could not for the life of me decide whether it's a 20sec montage or a 50 second thing.
I usually try to have each scene change plot and or characters, so many montages of people laughing are a bit boring to me. But audiences seem to like them and I would be very grateful for your approach about when you use them and how long they are.
Or is that stuff that always gets shot after a couple of weeks in the editing room to fill holes?
Thank you,
Os
