cut scenes An idea posited, a venue explored. Okay a short one. Movies and plays and television are plot driven (or character occasionally). This means editing. Lots and lots of editing. Editing the story, editing the scenes, editing the tape, editing the film. Lots of editing. Okay so we see George and Sarah hanging out after class. "Want some dinner?" asks George. "Sure," Sarah replies. EDIT. Now they are eating dinner. What if we didn't do that? A film or show or play that are only cut scenes? We don't actually see George and Sarah in the act of traveling to get dinner, we just accept that they are there now. We accept linear movement in space as linear movement in time, unless from the beginning we are told that such is not the vocabulary of the piece. We call this "Willing Suspension of Disbelief." What if instead of seeing George ask Sarah, and then them eating. We just see the traveling. The part of the linear movement through time that the playwright, screenwriter, director, or editor has removed from the story. I think that it would be interesting to see where the focus or importance would fall in such a story. I think the only two pure approaches to this would be to flesh out the cut scenes in an already existing piece, or write a piece, and then flesh out the cut scenes. You couldn't start from scratch because the urge would be too great to make the cut scenes into a story. Cut scenes don't tell the story, but they might tell a story. A story that each viewer interprets differently. Which is why it would be an intriguing exodus.
