Dear Lover: The audience hears pleasant music, which is followed by a display of the romance between the two characters. After that, a voice over is introduced, which further ties the audience to the characters. The audience is left wanting more at the conclusion. Dare to Thrill: The piece starts out with a lot of daring action and thoughtful music placement. The point and actions, however, get convoluted and confusing as the video proceeds. A suspenseful video with a lot of exposition for an introductory scene. There are a number of close-up photographs of the characters as well.
