@dutchjackson: The whole scene is one unbroken take. It was nearly three. The counter scene could have been three clean five-second beats. Each one works on its own. That's the problem — the pressure resets at every cut, and a girl being told no stops being uncomfortable. Fifteen seconds, no cut. She has to stand there and so do you. You pay by the second either way, so length is free. The discomfort is the point. strangefruitseries.com #aifilmmaking #directing #editing #strangefruit
