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.

This piece of music was created solely with audio captured from a bike and its component. By exploring a bikes full potential to generate sound, this video gave me an initial idea of the most sound-rich areas of cycling.

The composer talks about how he associates the sound of a bike with the freedom he felt cycling as a child, demonstrating that these sounds are instrumental to the cycling experience. It is primarily though these, more intimate sound, that I draw contrast between the calm distant view and the personal experience of a hill climb.

‘Audio swells’ are a technique often used by director Edgar Wright to emphasise transitions. I will use this technique in my film to draw contrast between scenery and cyclist.
