Scene 01 – Opening Montage
Timestamp: 00:01:10 – 00:02:00
Some quick observations:
- Background footage is news reel footage
- The type of footage changes depending on where the lines travels on the map (boats for water etc.)
- There are six different shots of boats. This is surprising to me sense it's more than either of the land sections. And three of them are almost the same shot.
- The basic breakdown of news footage is 4 shots of people walking, 6 shots of boats, 4 shots of people traveling (a bit more focus on vehicles like carts and bikes). so 4-6-4.
