    Now it'd be great for you to also delve into the positive side of fast-paced editing. Often what happens regarding these types of videos is that viewers get a sense that one approach is automatically better than the other. But just as Goodfellas used a long take very effectively for the purpose of storytelling, it also has that fantastic helicopter sequence that uses short takes to portray the main character's anxiety. Oliver Stone's JFK also comes to mind w/ its masterful cuts.

      @Louise X Ever seen Goodfellas & JFK (1991)?

    • @jp3813

      @Louise X Gotta watch JFK as well. Long takes can be distracting too if not meticulously planned. It would look like someone's home video.

    There is a great long time take in Tarantino's Jackie Brown when Samuel jackson gets the other gangster into carpot and turns around the building and fires a bullet at him in the car, Great informative video btw.

    Not a film but this video made me think of Marvel’s Daredevil’s one-shot scenes, particularly the 10-minute 40-second scene in season 3

    It is not only MTV that made the Video cuts faster but also the arrival of digital footage and digital editing that made the process less laborious, costly and more spontanious.
    So is also the capacity for pulling off long shots, since one is able to stitch cuts together to create an illusion of one shot, but also one does not have to worry about running out of film.
    Anyway I enjoyed this essay a lot, thanks for posting.

    I was actually recently thinking of how to do an opening camera shot for one of my video game maps (In the Starcraft 2 editor, it has very flexible cinematic tools)- your video made me realize that perhaps a long take will work well on that, due to the sense of immersion and realism I would like to convey in it. Thank you so much!

    Very valuable content since there is hardly any information or videos about the relationship between the shot length and its meaning within the scene, sequence, or storytelling. Thanks a lot!

    Don’t you think Breathless/French New Wave also contributed to the shortening of shot duration? We wouldn’t have the quick cuts of MTV without the jump cuts of Godard

    Scorsese chooses a long shot to accentuate the incessant corridors beneath the Copacabana, letting the audience experience and anticipate every second of that tour as Henry's date would. A long shot is the most effective way to do that. It's not some meta choice about showing the audience what cool tricks him and henry know.
