The best scene you shot might be the one you have to cut. The film is bigger than your favorite part.

A scene can be excellent on its own and still be wrong for the thing it sits inside. Editing asks a different question from shooting: not is this good, but does the whole move better with it or without it. The scenes hardest to cut are usually the ones you worked hardest on, and that effort is not an argument.

Watch your current cut once with the scene you love removed, and do not decide anything until it is over. If the whole thing is tighter, you have your answer. Keep the cut scene in a separate folder, because nothing you made is actually gone.
