Tricky Shots - Time lapse

Throughout our short film we have 2 tricky shots one being a split screen and the other a time lapse. We are wanting to do our time lapse via video and not stills. We first found inspiration from the following video...

The video gives the exact effect we want to achieve although we believe this video was done via a green screen as the girls are moving whilst filming. This will be a tricky shot for us as the character Hollie 'Megan' will have to sit still for a while (approximately 10 minutes) which when speeded up will give us around 2 minutes of actual footage which we will cut down to about 10 seconds.

Here is another video which has given us inspiration and we believe they have video rather than stills to create this effect..

This also in places shows something still such as buildings and statues which in our film would be megan, they have sped everything up however looks as though the stills are not moving and as if everything around them are going so busy. In this particular video they have used a non diagetic soundtrack, which adds to the fast pace.

As this is a tricky shot we also need to research how to achieve this effect when we are using final cut express, here is a video to demonstrate how...

Although this video is on final cut pro it gives a rough idea how to create the 'rushed effect' which is desired. I don't think creating this will be too difficult as we have researched it well plus we have previous experience with final cut express.

Why did we chose to use a time lapse? We as a group decided to use a time lapse as we think it will give a really great effect when Hollie is waiting for Ethan. It will portray as if the world is going by her while she is invisible and lonely. Our short film takes Hollie on a journey where she at the beginning is lonely and quiet, Ethan then gets Hollie to break out of her shell and starts to become more confident, then when Ethan denies her the world comes crashing back down to earth when she realises she is lonely and that no one does want her, this we feel is a why a time lapse will be effective.
