A rhythm made of stillness

A cut is a change in attention

A sequence does not need constant action to feel alive. Contrast a close portrait with an open landscape. Follow a moving shape with a quiet horizon. Each change invites the eye to find a new relationship.

Let a frame finish its thought

Hold a shot long enough for its details to become visible. The right duration comes from what the image asks us to see, not from a rule that every cut must arrive quickly.

Sound can change the meaning of a sequence, but silence is useful too. Reviewing a rough cut without music often reveals whether the images have a rhythm of their own.
