So I would suggest that they use one of those fancy shots where from one shot to the next 16 or 17 years have passed by and we are told by a large subtitle at the bottom of the screen.

That to me would be more of an intrusion into the world onscreen than narration, especially if the narration was by a character. Perhaps we could have had Galadriel again, making the point that time had passed.
As to the scenes themselves I like that it becomes darker, I mean actually literally darker, there is less light and a lot of the scenes are shot at night, when we see Frodo and Sam alone, and because we know that they will end up in Mordor there is some sort of link there. Then, when Merry and Pippin appear it becomes lighter, fitting with the characters I suppose.
But Gandalf telling Frodo about everything that was going on was nice, that was a sort of narration in itself, and as someone said it got all the necessary information across and in a way that was interesting and somewhat spooky in a very short space of time. That was done well I think.
