'Game of Thrones' Editor on Planning the Bloody Battle & Night King's Death

Tim Porter opens up on the way the epic episode of the series was planned...

LongNight

Even though all the fans would be willing to forget how badly Game of Thrones ended with almost unanimous hatred towards the show, what cannot be forgotten is how massive the show indeed was.

The stakes were as high as they could be and everything was more epic than anything ever seen. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, editor Tim Porter opened up on the biggest challenge while shooting for 'The Long Night' episode and sort of losing Arya before the big reveal at the end of the battle.

Tim said, ""The Long Night" is essentially a continuous action sequence from beginning to end, with very little dialogue. The challenges came from constructing the narrative mainly through the action. It was a constant search for the correct rhythm, tension building, hope, fear, when to feel that all is lost and finding unspoken moments between characters that the audience could engage with."

He added, "As there were so many characters fighting different battles, we were trying to make sure that we weren't away from each beat for too long, keeping the characters under pressure and the audience involved with their plight. All except for Arya, we wanted to lose her, to take the focus off where she was, and what she was doing, until we see her entrance into the Godswood to save the day."
