Merlin Introduction Review (35 secs)

1-3 seconds; Water effect across full screen.
4-6 seconds; Fade to medium shot of main character (Merlin) with his whole body shaded so only outline is visisible.
8-10 seconds; Very fast zoom to extreme close up of Merlins eye.
11 seconds; Extreme close up of Merlins eye with colour transition of green to yellow.
11-12 seconds; Title 'Merlin' with glossy glare effects.
13-17 seconds; Establishing shot with enviornment mostly made up of trees with Prince Arthur and Merlin on a horse moving from left to right. Panning shot used to follow their movement. (Horizontal)
17-20 seconds; Long shot of both characters coming to a slow hault. Again, horizontal panning shot used to track movement.
21-24 seconds; Medium shot of Merlin looking worried. Horizontal panning shot used once again to track his movement on horseback.
24-26 seconds; Establishing shot of destination. A what looks like 'magical/olden decrepid castle' which very subtle zoom used.
26-27 seconds; Medium shot of Prince Arthur with small ammount of dialogue. Camera position is fixed while Arthur moves around while controlling his horse.
27-29 seconds; Zoomed out shot, but still medium shot of both characters. Camera position is fixed once again which symbolises no movement.
30-31 seconds; Switches back to medium shot of only Arthur with more dialogue. Camera position fixed.
31-35 seconds; Switches once again to medium shot of Merlin while Arthur rides off in front of Merlin hiding him from view for a approximately a second. Camera angle on Merlin is fixed so implies Arthurs movement as very fast.
