Drafting & Planning: Initial footage of traffic

Here is some initial footage for the cars scene:

I have sped it up on Movie Plus, however, when sped up it looked very shaky as I did not use a tripod for initial footage, so I added a motion blur effect.

The traffic was not moving fast enough to get the desired blur of lights, which means that in future I will film at a time where there is less of a crush so traffic can move faster. I will also use a digital camera so that the footage is of much better quality.

For this footage I only used motion blur, as it creates the illusion of time manipulation without damaging the footage quality.

In future, I will definitely use a tripod to film, and I will definitely be using a digital camera. I will also film from further away so that more lights from the cars be recorded. It has also been suggested to me that I should film when it is less dark, as I do not plan for the sky to be at night time during the walking scene.
