Intro to middle section

Here, I have tested how well the intro transitions into the next section as well as create a rough cut of the middle section as well. Firstly, here you can see that the now layered waltz of the intro makes it much more engaging to watch and feels less slow paced and repetitive. As aforementioned in my previous post I wanted to shorted the first shot, this makes it more snappy and more intriguing. We also have included some text at the start in order to explain the issue more clearly. I think that this works very well as it is short and provides the necessary information. Also the yellow text have further relation the sun and contributes to the theme. Another improvement made was that at 1 min 20 secs  I changed the shot from the previously sunny drone shot and it know fits in better with the other shots for continuity. I have also included more establishing shots in order to illustrate the aesthetic of the town even better.

I love how well the introduction transitions into the next section where the characters are talking about the sun returning and slowly coming down the mountain into the valley. The works so well with the next section as it initiates with a time lapse which visually illustrates the aforementioned. Accompanied by diagetic bird noises and the drone shots displaying the line of sunlight getting ever so closer to the town. Together I believe the viewers get a good sense of the spring and the anticipation of the return of the sun. 

Here is also the introduction of the main character Jorunn who epitomises the towns aura and spirit through here passion about the return of the sun. The way in which her audio comes in first over other shots and then cuts to her after works very well and looks very sleek and professional. Here she introduces the idea of her "chasing the sun" which instigates the next sound track. We follow her going on one of her "sun walks" and the music really captures the emotion and theme of her chasing the sun. Also the fact that the interview has been intertwined with the sun walk increases the pace of this sections and makes for a more dynamic narrative.

I also really like how the visuals interact with the music, specifically when she says that she "stop.... look around". When she says stop the music also stops which works very well. She gradually gets closer and closer to the sun and when she does, the music changes to a much more emotional piece. This more emotional piece is complemented and amplified by the slow motion visuals.

The ending of this section sets up for another interesting transition. Jorunn concludes this section by saying that when the sun comes back they all "wash and polish the windows". The next section could therefore begin by showing her cleaning her windows when the sun returns.
