Dare to Thrill

After watching the first video, I feel like they could have included an establishing shot to show the setting of the video. The music choice is good because it uplifts the mood of the audience. There are various tracking shots to show the excitement of the actors and actresses. Transitions such as action cuts, and jump cuts illuminate the exciting theme. Towards the end, we see an insert transition to show the actors giving their attention to something specific. Then their expressions indicates the idea that what they found was something horrific. The lighting is natural lighting.
