Removing narration was the starting point. Then I started from the beginning and trimmed here and there as I went thru it. At some point the flashback sequence didn't work for me, so I tried out the chronological cut idea.
Intentions:
To get rid of narration and to condense/pace up the story without loosing too much of it.
Change List:
- Added fanedit intro - Story is told in chronological order, new opening incorporated with arrival of the Domingre gang - Little cuts to up the pace leading into first haberdashery massacre - Cut out David Hess song; Mike is killed by Bob through the door, not by Gage afterwards - Removed (what was second) narration, new montage shortening lead into the introduction of Major Warren - Shortened Warren’s horse answer, some trims in dialogue - Cut out Jack White, added music cue and some re-edits into letter reading and Ruth’s and Domergue’s falling out of the coach - Small cuts and re-edits in dialogue and action to up the pace until the arrival of Mannix - Small cuts and re-edits in dialogue and action to up the pace until arrival to Minnie’s - Less door shenanigans - Mobray justice story shortened - Gage’s mother story shortened - Warren/Bob barn dialogue shortened - Trimmed Mannix overacting recognizing General Smithers and their dialogue - Less door shenanigans upon arrival of Warren and Bob from the barn - No hat story, but Warren is suspicious - Shortened Mobray suggestion to divide the bar - Some cuts to up the pace of Ruth’s presenting Domergue and disarming Gage - Some cuts to up the pace into dinner table conversation - Lot of cuts and trims to up the pace of Warren’s baiting story and killing General - Removed narration, shorten montage and dialogues leading into Domergue’s song - Removed (most of) Jennifer Jason Leigh’s real reaction to guitar destruction - Cuts and trims of Warren’s dialogue after Ruth’s killing all the way through to wounding of Warren - Some cuts of slo-mo showdown (removed most of slo-mo dilalogue) - Shorten Warren/Mannix dialogue before dropping Jody; - Cut Domergue dilaogue adding corpses / horses; paced up shooting of Gage and Mobray - Cut second Mannix daddy story; now we go straight from Warren having no more bullets into Mannix blacking out - Shorten Warren/Mannix dialogue before hanging Domergue - Shorten Mannix reading Lincoln letter, fades after first sentence into new end credits.
