After having been given photographs to work with I realised that, to make a two minute video they would need to be animated or in motion in some way to avoid creating a straight slideshow with inter-titles. My initial idea was to print the photographs off and use them in a physical form to create a stop-motion video, an idea i intended to borrow from a music video i had seen for the song The Reeling by Passion Pit.

I felt that using stop-motion with various layers would work well to make the video more interesting and also it would tie in with my earlier work from the previous year, in which i used a similar technique. (see below)

The drawback to filming a stop-motion was the limited number of photographs which we were given, only fourteen, as well as this stop-motion can be quite time-consuming to shoot, so we decided to take a different route. We took photographs which fitted in with the images, which seemed to suggest two distinct journeys, one by foot and one by train. We then edited them into a sequence to expand upon these journeys, adding music to fit with the piece. The following images are some of those we were given to work with:
