Editing Research: Time Lapse

Within our music video, we thought we could have various different time lapses at the beginning of the video during the instrumental. We thought this would be a good place to put the time lapses as it is quite a long build up to when the song actually starts. We have never done something with a time lapse as a group, and if we had it would of been just a short one of our phones, however we want to know the proper way in which we can get a good shot using a time lapse. I have carried out some valuable research on how to use time lapse on the DSLR camera. 

Here are two videos found on YouTube:

I found this video the most useful, as it shows you all the set up methods needed to work with the time lapse feature on the DSLR camera, aswell as how to edit them in the post production. After watching this video and similar videos, it is clear to see that there is not just one way in which you can do a time lapse, but two. This is either through taking a video or systematic photos. Because it is easier for us and because it is less time consuming, we will take the video option as this will be the easier option for our group. In post production we will be using Adobe Premiere Pro to edit all time lapses and we will take the videos recorded on the DSLR (minimum of 5 minutes footage or longer for each shot) and speed them up. This will then give us our finished product of a time lapse that will be used at the beginning of the song.
