EDITS, TRANSITIONS -- Where do they work best?
rtprod:
Hi everyone,
Me again. :)
Okay, there are several transitions in the film that are just beautifully handled, and I'll give you two of my favorites, then we can jump off from there.
1. BEST -- Ennis rolls Alma over and begins, um, doing his thing. We then cut to Jack astride a bucking bull. LOL. How awesome is that?
2. SECOND BEST -- After Ennis gets beat up on Thanksgiving, the slow fade out and then fade in to the tranquility of Jack and Ennis together, the mainstay in his turbulent life, always chokes me up. This guy can't get a break down in the real world, and can't live up in the other one.

This fade out/fade in has to be one of my favorite scenes in the movie. It was BREATHTAKING on the big screen when the fade in came in on the mountains, and then the camera panned down to them riding the horses!

Come on guys, you're all quiet. I know someone else had to have loved that first one I mentioned.... lol

rt,
You are flooding the board today, don't you have work to do :P
It's great to see the board is so alive this morning! It has been quiet for a few days :) Thanks for the thought-provoking posts!

I haven't really thought about this issue and don't know if this one really "counts," but I like the transition of Ennis on this knees in the alley, then we begin to hear the minister reciting the Lord's Prayer, and then we're in the church for Ennis and Alma's wedding.
You're on a roll today, rt. ...
