Poetry In Motion Video

 For this project I wanted to show the dangers of being distracted while driving. Funny thing is, I was all alone to do the shoot so I had to hold the camera on the dash while driving which is beyond hypocritical and dangerous. With that being said, everyone is safe and I was able to capture what I needed. I found a cover of the song "Drive", originally by The Cars, sung by a group called The Deftones who are signed to Maverick Records. The mood of the song is what inspired me to edit the way I did. I had other ideas on the crash scene and also wanted to shoot some footage of my family at the cemetery, however my wife out right refused, called me morbid and being as I am already behind in the class, I used a couple of stills to show the crash. To set the mood for the video I also desaturated the footage but using keyframes I wanted to fade the effect in the entire length prior to the crash scene. I also used a sped up and revered cut to bring the footage prior to the distraction of the radio scene to show how the end result would be different.
