Who knew that random passersby on Sunset Blvd that got pulled into a Hollywood film screen test had this much power?


I'd expect that some films, at least, have an uneven distribution of cuts. Action scenes will have more cuts than non-action scenes etc. Still, it's interesting to watch these films with the shot length in mind, it can definitely be unnecessarily frenetic.
