From watching the first ten minutes of this episode of Merlin i noted how many scene changes they were, how many story lines were shown, how the characters moved and how the characters delivered lines. The first thing i noticed was that the scene was changed very often, in fact there were ten changes in the time i watched it! They all were quite different places too, one took place in a cave and another in a castle dungeon. All of these different settings had a different story line, sometimes completely different ones too. This will keep the audience hooked as they will want to know how all of these things add up and what happens to all these different characters we are introduced too. As far as the character movement goes, there was lots of fighting and stunt work. When the characters delivered lines there was a lot of humor, making it a better program to watch.
