What I had done for this project

-

For this project I created a short poetic documentary with the topic of stress and how it effects people's everyday lives. I done this contrasting different types of shots, for example there'd be a shot of the subject walking on a trail in the woods and then there'll be a shot of a vehicle passing or a time lapse of the bus station showing people and buses coming in and out of the location over half an hour.

How I created the documentary

-

The first thing I did when creating the documentary was create the time lapse by taking a picture of the location every five seconds for thirty minute, I then imported all the images into premiere and made each a frame long and rendered it out. The next thing I did was film all the slow motion shots I needed, I then put them into premiere pro and slowed all the footage, nested each clip and added a warp stabiliser to make everything smooth. After doing this, I added the background music and interview clips where needed and exported.

Once exported I imported the video into after effects and added black boarders and a colouring. I then added two text layers and to each a decoder fade in preset. To get the jittery effect on the text I made a new composition and added a solid layer, added fractal noise, changed the settings and added an expression, I then put the layer on top of the text and added a displacement layer to the text.
