"Yes, the marriage proposal was shot. Michael excluded the dialogue from the final edit"

This quote is referring to a scene in a motion picture that Michael, the editor, was working on. The scene was a marital relationship proposal, but Michael decided to leave out the discussion from the last edit. This might suggest that the discussion was not required for the scene, or that it was not up to the standards that Michael was searching for. It could also indicate that the discussion was not appropriate to the story or that it was too long and would have eliminated from the general impact of the scene. Whatever the factor, Michael selected to omit the dialogue from the last edit, suggesting that he felt it was not necessary for the scene.
