Hi all,
I am back from my Nightreign gameplay break. I essentially have every single clip for the video that I would want or need. While taking a break, I had time to think about my stuff and take a step back from the grind.
I realized that I may have made a little bit of an error when I decided to extend the video, but I'm not sure, because It also helps the pacing a lot. The video as it stands has 3 sections: General gameplay explanations, weapons, and areas/monsters. I think I will keep it this way and this length... But I am beginning to doubt if I'm ready for the long commitment to finishing the third section, since the first 2 are essentially done completely with minor gaps.
The image above shows what is completed and what isn't. On the later sections, I used it mainly as a dumping ground for my funny clips. However... I wrote 10 minutes of content to justify the existence of 2 minutes of clips. I think that I made a lot of extra work for myself due to pacing, so I need to decide if I want to keep the section or if I should recycle the clips into other parts of the video or write a new, smaller section about my favorite aspects and clips of the game to justify their existence.
I am probably going to stay the course because I don't want the video to just be entirely taken over by the weapons section, which is 12 minutes long. But I will see.
Hopefully from this image you can figure out what's actually done and what isn't and how much more I have to do. I apologize for the extension - but I think that a third pillar/topic was what was needed to really make this video's pacing make sense, I suppose. The issue is that I hope I don't get tired by the time I need to make it. I will finish every part except this section, then decide if I truly need this part of the video. This game is, frankly, an absolute nightmare to film, and the footage assistance didn't turn out the way I thought it was because it's a nightmare for them to film and too much work to onboard more things now.
If I could do this over, I would probably just not fully explain weapons and eliminate that pillar of the video to shorten it - but honestly, all the content I have written is funny, I just have personal issues creating something over 30 minutes lol. The weapons section explains more than just weapons, and is quite funny, so I do like it.
