Although I have already finished my project I have decided it is important to clarify something to prevent confusion down the line. As I was editing this project, I realized just how constricting 2 minutes really is. Because of this I decided to completely remove the typing scene that was going to be used in the first half of my project. While this sequence of shots sounded good and engaging in my head, I realized that it was difficult to execute in a way that was stimulating to watch. On top of that, the clips that were recorded in the office proved to be so much better and more enticing that it felt like I would be a poor decision to sacrifice some clips for the sake of keeping this typing scene in the project as intended.
If I were to add this scene exactly as originally intended, it would have eaten up half of the project time and it would have made It impossible for the other sequences to be implemented properly without feeling forced. As a matter of fact, I decided to compare and contrast the project with this scene and the project without it and realized not only did the pacing feel more natural without it, but it also helped build the storyline and further assist in the cliffhanger I added to the end of the project. This decision of mine hopefully ends up paying off by boosting viewer retention and engagement while playing as a source of inspiration for myself to not feel demotivated by this minor hiccup in the process.
