1 Minute Video

I began thinking about the journey theme and as i was meant to be going home that following weekend, i developed the idea into recording a train journey. Now, usually, train journeys are very boring, so i was planning on using fast cuts, racy music and much sprucing up using Final Cut to make it look exciting.

I didn't end up going home, so the journey couldn't be recorded and i had to quickly decide upon something else to base it on. I decided upon keeping the train theme, but instead capture footage of them from outside. The train track runs next to my home so i was able to use several vantage points from my house to gain different shots as well as many different points around the track.
