Skater performing a trick.
Skating
Slow motion pan up to sky, with birds flying
Music
The music is arranged to collaborate with the start of the skaters trick. The music mellows and a traumatic narration that is already in the music narrated via a female voice, then the music is begins again after the small cinematic section.
The volume increases playing a non-diegetic song. The song is more prominent than the diegetic sounds produced by the skateboard.
Music slowly fades and left with an extended note on a guitar.
Effect
This working with the slow motion makes the trick more dramatic by impacting the viewer and making it more interesting. This collaboration makes the trick more dramatic. Once the music dulls and the narration is played it created tension, the woman’s voice sounds distressed and is a complete juxtaposition of the slow motion visuals. Once the music starts again the first image seen is the skater performing a new trick just like the beginning. This adds pace to the skateboard trick and makes it seem more exciting for the viewer.
Because the song is upbeat and has a magical tone, it makes the tricks seem more elegant and smooth, creating a cereal atmosphere that grasps the viewers and draws them into an ‘out of this world’ experience because of the magical sound track and synergy with the skateboard tricks. The positive atmosphere created by the music is very effective in intriguing the audience and making it more interesting, also makes the tricks seem more flowing.
This helps the viewer understand that it’s the end and actually makes it more dramatic. Kind of like the end of a rollercoaster; once you’ve completed the ride you have those few seconds that you move slowly before getting off, you reflect on the ride, amplifying positivity and makes you leaving wanted to go again! (in this case re watch it)
Diegetic/non-diegetic sound
Non-diegetic
Non diegetic song mixed with diegetic sounds produced by the skateboard. If the diegetic sound via the skateboard was absent it makes the tricks seem weird. But having the song more prominent really enhances the viewers experience by combining both visual and sound.

Dialogue
No dialogue just a woman’s voice that is a part of the non-diegetic music.
