More influence from director Edgar Wright, this video essay explores how Wright uses transitions as narrative tools. 00:44-01:50 Gives an excellent example of how transitions can be dictated by motion within the scene
With cycling being inherently kinetic, having my transitions follow the rapid motion of the rider allowed me to create moments of disorientation where transitions merge into each other, reflecting the riders physical exertion as well as direction.
Using the passing bicycle to pull in the transition following the the counter-clockwise trajectory of water was, in a sequence that follows a left to right motion, is the way in which I achieved this.
