Dont cry over Spilt wine

So I was watching my video lock of the project to get an idea and make notes on audio. There is a scene where Miriam accidently tips over a bottle of wine. Robert Stands to offer assistance, she spins around and tells him to sit down. This is a great disruption scene you want something like that every 4 scenes
Scene 1 Tim says Hi to Shelly
Scene 2 Tim and Shelly walk their friends house
Scene 3 Tim and Shelly Sit in their friends house talking with their friend Gary about life
Scene 4 Tim and Gary get in a fight Gary strikes Tim
Scene 5 Tim and Shelly leave
Scene 6 Tim and Shelly sit by a creek and shelly comforts Tim
Scene 7 Tim and shelly walk home by a cow field
Scene 8 A cow explodes
You get the idea wake your audience up every 4 scenes or so.
At any rate in this instance she tips the bottle over becomes frustrated and trying to keep her cool but being on edge yells God just sit down!
The scene the way I had it worked. The message came across and the scenes cut together nicely.
However
However
I just thought it could be better I always did it didn’t seem like you could see her expression because of the angle. Sooooooooo even though it worked and I needed to move things along as I’m about a month behind now. I recut the scene and Oh my lord!!!! It is awesome. It went from being
Audience: oh she tipped the bottle over, oh that’s nice he is going to help, wow she is kind being bitchy
To
Audience: Oh she tipped the bottle over, oh that’s nice he is going to help, Oh my God she is a psycho.

I’m happy. I still hate editing but that was fun to see a quick positive result.
