Intuitive Shot Auditioning

scene-building methodology where the editor, instead of pre-planning an entire sequence, intuitively drops compelling shots or moments into the timeline to 'audition' them. The goal is to see what new dynamics, rhythms, or narrative possibilities emerge from the juxtaposition, allowing the scene to be discovered organically rather than constructed from a blueprint. This approach treats the timeline as a sketchbook for rapid, low-stakes experimentation.
