There have been many times when I have been very busy with school, homework, and everything else that I've thought, "if time could stop for, like, five seconds, even that would make a huge difference." When I start to feel stressed, I tend to tune out the things that are going on around me. Usually I'm listening to music, and don't quite realize that I'm not 100% focused on what I should be doing. Sometimes I will be listening to music on my commute to or from school, and realize I can't remember how I got from my apartment to Haymarket - but somehow I did, and amazingly, I'm still on time...
To create the feeling of time stopping, I slowed down the speed of certain video clips and used slow transitions between shots. To show time passing I used shots that can be easily recognized: people walking down the street, a market, my feet, etc. Since time cannot literally be stopped, the shots that show time at a standstill are somewhat abstract. I also chose an instrumental song called "Time Stops" by Explosions in the Sky which plays through out the whole video. The song is to help make the connection that each event is happening within the same short span of time; to act as a narration of some sort.
