Daniel Floyd is an highly regarded animator who believes that there is no perfect template for events in a story, but that any story, no matter what happens in it should follow this graph that charts time, and how engaged the viewers is.
This theory states that a story must slowly become more engaging, drawing the audience in, until they are emotionally invested, then have a climactic point that everything led up to, and lastly have a final scene to allow the calm down. The dips in the graph are rest points for the audience, these allow the viewers to become gradually more engaged, but not over whelmed by the story.
This theory of a story map is questionable, but never the less our video’s narrative does follow this guide line. We begin and become more interesting by use of colours and a faster editing pace, until we have our climax, and then have a slower calmer scene to finish, just as the graph recommends.
