Research shows that when we spend time in nature, our stress levels decrease. It has a positive impact on our nervous, immune, and endocrine system. Seeing, hearing, smelling, breathing, and touching nature will work against the negative impact we get from spending too much time in front of a screen.

For this project, our aim was to show the harsh contrast between city and nature environments through different types of visual and sound elements.
The final cut of these scenes begins with the stillness and beauty of nature, which is gradually overtaken by hectic noises of the city. As the video progressively gains more momentum throughout the city clips, angst begins to build until there is a sharp cut and then pause as the video transitions into longer clips of slow, calming nature visuals and sounds.
In the city we focused on capturing the harsh lights and sounds that overwhelm the senses, such as fluorescents, traffic sounds, crowds of people, and random noises that occur out of no where and pull your attention. For the nature scenes, the focus was on highlighting the calm, still moments where time seems to slow down and become unimportant. Barely perceptible sounds such as birds chirping and water running over rocks in a creek to further the feeling of calmness and serenity that one experiences in nature.
