I then linked the next shot with a fade to black transition, I have done this because the video goes from a shot of the landscape to a shot of me again, so the fade to black symbolises a change in setting. The next shot is an image of me sat on a cliff edge as it slowly pans to a shot of the water where i'm looking out at in the distance. I have done this so that it gives me a blank canvas to put text over the shot of key lyrics in the song "i gotta learn things" this connects with the audience and show that i am deeply thinking about life.
I then added a cross dissolve to link to the next shot, which is a shot looking down of the cliff to the rocks below with text over the top reading "Gotta see what it feels like" i have included this shot as it shows a calm sea breaking onto the rock and it sets a calm tone.
I have used the side ways drift animation on the text so that it smoothly glides on and off the shot, with the Sign painter house script font as it looks similar to handwritten text making it looks like the text is taken from the lyric page its self.
I then used the circle open transition to return the video back to shots of me, i used the circle open effect as it is almost like the audience is being brought back to the shots of me instead of the first person view that they saw on the previous shot. This shot then cross dissolves to a shot of me inside the cove walking along the waters edge and staring out into the ocean, followed by a ripple effect that is used to make me disappear and reappear behind one of the rocks, the ripple effect is very effective as it symbolises the water that is in the shot.
