Construction - Fast motion Traffic

In our music video we have included a clip of cars on the motorway. Instead of having it in normal motion we decided to speed it up to show time passing and a transition from light to dark. We could have done this effect using green screen but we decided to film it ourselves to make it look more authentic and realistic. We filmed from an overpass on the traffic beneath us. We mounted the camera to a tripod and left it in the same position for 20 minutes so we were able to see the transition from day to night and also the clouds passing overhead.  Once the clip was uploaded on to the editing software we were able to speed up the footage to 2000% so the moving cars were moving at a very noticeable increased speed. This fast motion also saw the movements of the cars light and the clouds above moving. The clips also shows subtly the sky getting darker. It is important to document this as this is the clip in our music video that took the longest to film and also emphasizes our decision over the real world and green screen.
