Ah, sequencing!!! This is one of the things I love most about filmmaking. A great sequence, in which the character arc, the visual elements, and the score all fuse into one choreographed dance. A magnifying order. I'm thinking of this montage from The Secret Life of Walter Mitty: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyRMV70FIVU

love that—makes me wanna rewatch... it's been interesting for me to navigate sequencing for albums and poetry books that don't usually have a narrative... I find a lot of structural/thematic reference inspo from natural rhythms—the course of a day and through the night, the four seasons, birth to death, and new life... some time I'll have to try a longer narrative

I totally get that too, I’m a free verse poet and about to publish my first collection. Just sequenced it into four sections a couple weeks ago!! It was such a similar process to what you described in your post - this really blessed me 🙏
