Experimenting with reversed video

In class, we have been attempting different techniques which could be used in our final production. Me and the person I was working with decided to use the video below as inspiration. The reason for this being is that I would quite like my piece to go against the norm in some way and be mind bending in some way. After thinking, we realised that executing this wouldn't be too difficult as all it involves is the actor walking backwards and then when the footage is reversed it will create the illusion that the actor is walking forward whilst everybody else is walking backwards. I feel that the final product was successful, and can be viewed below. The only problem however is there wasn't enough going on in the background to fully pull off the illusion. Therefore, I will probably go into town and re-do this as there will be many more people about and it will look better overall.
