Research

While the theory was interesting and gave me a good idea or two, it doesn't help me when it comes to thinking about the filming and editing process. While I've already shot a lot of the footage I need, the most important part is editing and so I'm continuing to look at the work of others.

For this one, the embedded video is at the bottom and the screen shots from it are among the writing.

The only problem with the research is it isn't done by well known names, but it's been hard to find that sort of stuff and a lot of the amateur made videos are equally interesting and helpful. This one is shot through the windscreen of a car carrier and one of the more original ones I've come across.

The limited perspective and view you get is very realistic and as it's shot from the person's eyeline you feel as though you're there. Because you're not seeing much it's interesting and creates a different viewpoint on the screen.
Ignoring the music which really doesn't fit with the visuals and is actually rather annoying, I did quite like the editing. The way it cut together between the different places and the rather, hazy, dreamy effect felt like the subconcious state you slip into and gives me something else to experiment with for the odd time in my video that i feel that sort of transition would be necessary.


There was a lot of ambiguity with where you were in the video. The landscape changes so much that you know the video is made over a large period of miles, but the lack of signs or really recognisable places leaves you wondering exactly where you're going and also what the point of the journey is as this is never discussed and doesn't become obvious at any point.
