TIME LAPSE!

Time-Lapse Photography is a cinematography technique whereby each film frame is captured at a rate much slower than it will be played back. When replayed at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing. Some classic subjects of timelapse photography include: cloudscapes and celestial motion, plants growing and flowers opening,
fruit rotting,evolution of a construction project, people in the city.
The technique has also been used to photograph crowds, traffic, and even television. The effect of photographing a subject that changes imperceptibly slowly, is to create a smooth impression of motion. A subject that is changing quickly already is transformed into an onslaught of activity. (from wikipedia)

As a group, we thought it would be a good idea to create a time lapse for the beginning of our documentary, using the london eye, big ben, london bridge + oxford st as our locations. we asked mr foley for guidance on how we would be able to do this and how much tape we would need. here are some youtube examples:
