Video Experiment

In a previous post, I talked about experimenting with a shorter video that explores one specific theme. After doing the theory and research on subconcious levels of driving, I made this shorter video based on that.

I'm reasonably happy with how it's turned out. I was originally going to have it shorter and so that is something that can be looked at as it's around 50 seconds when I was aiming for 30, however it has a beginning and an end which are important.

The sound is quite simple for this particular one as it's supposed to lull you into a sense of not paying as much attention and get you into that subconcious level of watching but not concentrating as much at first (just like driving) and I'm hoping the flashes of text are brief enough to make you pay more attention and have to think about it more.

Something I considered was putting effects on the video, like in one I looked at in my research. The effects would give a hazy look to certain parts of it, perhaps showing the person falling into that state of subconcious driving, but so far I haven't tried that as I thought it might be a little too much. It's something I can discuss in my tutorial later this week.

Below is the experiment version of this anyway.
