We need to cut slides!

Think about how a movie director cuts down a movie.

• She does not just chop a few scenes randomly
• She does not double the speed at which the movie runs.
• She does not use picture-in-picture to cram two scenes in one screen shot in parallel.

Instead:

• She thinks in terms of time, not number of scenes. What can I do in 90 minutes?
• She thinks about plot lines, not scenes. Can we lose that flashback without impacting the story?
• She thinks about the overall story. Now that we cut a few plot lines, do we need to overhaul the whole story line?

You are your own presentation director.
