Final Version Of Subconcious Driving

After a very helpful tutorial which left me to go away and think about all of the videos and where I was going with them, I decided to sit down straight away and work out the final way I wanted the videos to look.

I started with the subconcious driving one and have now come up with what will be used as part of my final piece unless I suddenly decide any of it needs a tweak. The main things I changed were instead of having a black screen with white writing flash up (that represented the things on my mind instead of the road), I used images of the objects or things related to my thoughts. It did require some tweaks because for some of the text, there were no direct photos I could use and so I got more creative and substituted some things like 'tutorial Monday' for something else that I had an image of.

On the experimental video, some of the sound that involved the sat nav voice had got accidentally sped up and sounded like a chipmunk and so I corrected this and smoothed out a couple of bumps in the audio that made it sound uneven and jerky. This is the only real change I made to the sound because the monotaneous drone of the road leads you to that subconcious, not paying attention state that I wanted and with a simpl, plain soundtrack there's nothing to detract from the visuals which are the key thing.

I'm generally happy with how it's turned out. To try and give me an opinion and perspective on it, I had my house mate watch it and tell me what he thought I was trying to achieve as well as his opinion. He understood what I was trying to achieve and also liked it, so hopefully, it does what I want it to.

Below is the final (for now) version:-
