A different approach

I have been mainly focusing on buses in Manchester, and mainly just out of the window, so i wanted to experiment with a different setting and other things besides buses to just see how to would turn out.


Here, instead of being on the top deck i decided to try filming downstairs:

        

Here i experimented with slowing down the video: 


       
           This isn't as smooth as i wanted it to be..so i feel this effect doesn't really work too well.


Doing something i hadn't thought of doing before, i decided to turn the film sideways to see how this would work..i like how it makes you slowly turn your head to the side:




      

I feel this one is quite headache inducing, but still, its good to experiment!:

      

Now, here i stepped away from working with buses and just wanted to try something a bit different. Here i filmed an undeground train just from the side, capturing the speed and colours flashing by, i didn't want to use any sound because i didnt think i would persue this idea i just wanted to give it a go:


      

I havent really filmed at night, but here i had an opertunity to do so. I Mirrored the subject because i wanted it to be a never ending journey that no matter how you look at it, your going to be on the bus for awhile:


       

Mirror.Red - I like this video mainly because its like the tow busses are merging into one, making it one continous red bus: 


     

With this one it gives a feeling of your heart beating along with the video, the movement and sound really makes it feel like you are moving along with it: 


     

I wanted this one to work because the idea in my head seemed a lot better! The first few seconds were exactly what i wanted, but then merging all the clips together it didn't do what i wanted. If it were as smooth as the first few seconds through it, it would of been better: 


    

Lastly, i tried something i had never done before, turning it on its head! I wanted to see what it would be like if i turned the film upside down, and i feel it works really well. It begins to create its own rhythm which i really enjoy: 


    

i feel that turning the film upside down or sideways is really working well, and I also feel that using a mirror image is something i should continue with.
