Some more research

I found this video to be very interesting. Particularly as it's very different to the others I've looked at so far and shows the potential a road trip video can have in black and white.

The content itself is fairly interesting and again in a documentary style but it's the constant changing of focus, the macro shots and the textures/contrast the camera picks up that make it very interesting. It's done with a visual approach again, the shots have been thought about, carefully composed.

It's only short and the music just adds a background soundtrack to it, but it gave me more inspiration and showed me other possiblities for approaching my own video.

This video below is not in black and white, but I do like it. The opening shots look at the smaller apsects of things you might see on road trips, the water etc. before it pans out to the rest of what they saw. It's quite a calm, slow paced one but I do like it. However, I do seem to be swaying more towards the quickly edited ones at the moment.
