Monday i start to work on this cut:
A Steven Spielberg Double Feature.
Flammable and Summer of the White Shark (Duel and Jaws)
I already announced that in Future Projects to do a DF of the first two movies of Spielberg
Flammable is recut, a very short recut of my Battle cut
The reason for this i already explained in Future Projects
Well, back to my first cut i did on this site i had 3 versions.
The first one was a 60 minutes cut, you see the opening when David Mann drives out of the garage and there was also the phone conversation with his wife and the "Snake" lady
But when i saw it finished it was for me too long
So back to editing i cut the snake lady and the phone conversation and that was with some small cuts a version of 46 - 47 minutes
So that was the release cut of Battle
I was satisfied with this final cut but not for long....
I made after that a version of 35 minutes in which i cut the gas station
In this cut we have only the Battle between the truck driver and Mann
But there was still things very annoying to me but at that time i didn't have the tools to get it out
Back in time i made this with Wondershare Video Editor, a nice program but technically you can't do shit with it
It's only editing nothing more.
But when i got my hands on the Adobe Premiere pro stuff finally i can do this in the way it was meant to be
This Flammable cut is already done
This version is 31 minutes and i think it's perfect to do this in a DF with Jaws
Cuts:
- Opening scene is cut, Mann is already on the road
- The radio sound is gone (one of the things that was bugging me)
- There are some very small cuts in the first scene when he drives to the Truck and in the first chase
- Gas station is cut, so also the phone conversation
- The Dialogue is almost gone, there are a few short lines of Mann and the two old guys when he crashes in front of the restaurant
- The Restaurant scene is cut, Mann stays in his car after the crash
That was the second thing that was annoying to me, why in the hell i let him get out of the car?
In the Battle cut he gets out of the car to pick up his sunglasses but i think it is better to let him sit in the car
- Bus driver and children are cut , that was a scene i didn't like at all in the original
- The Snake lady and the Phone booth scene is cut
- Asking for help to the old man and lady is cut, also in that scene there are some small cuts, like Mann is NOT walking to the Truck
In the next scene we get to the final chase, i did some very small cuts in this.
Like i already said in Projects, when Mann is filmed on the left side of his car you see constantly Spielberg in the rearview mirror
He is sitting on the backseat, well i didn't noticed it at all in the first cuts but that is now gone
If it happens ones or twice ok, it could happen, but this is constantly, so i corrected it
By the way, you see him also in the phone booth (reflection) filming Weaver at that scene
This cut is also in a 2.35.1 ratio, to give it the same ratio as Jaws
Music is from Mark Isham (The Hitcher) i think PERFECT for this cut and the chase scenes are done with music of Brad Fiedel (Terminator)
So Monday i begin to work on the Jaws cut
The idea's and cuts are coming up
