Instruct - Research (time)

When thinking of showing time passing by I thought of a candle burning out, there being a clock in the shot etc etc.

Clock Time lapse
This is a video of a clock time lapse  I like it because the person that made it used lots of different camera angles, and a lot of shaking etc. to make it really dramatic. And it worked! It looks really good, but I'm not sure if something like this would make sense to be in my video. I think it wouldn't look right.

Second Video
This is a candle burning our time lapse I found. The first thing I noticed is that it's really long and it's not as effective, if I was to use a candle burning out I'd have to use one of the thin, but really long candles, so you could literally see it go down. But again, I wouldn't be able to speed it up too much, and having just a minute for my whole video, I might not have space to fit something like this in.

Third Video
This is another time lapse video I found and at this point I actually realized that I don't need to look far to find how to represent passing by. I remembered that in movies etc. when they want to show the day passing by, they have a person in a room, with a camera in one place, and the person in several different positions and doing several different things. Either laying on the bed, sitting on the chair, then going onto laying on the floor etc. So I thought of just videoing myself knitting the scarf, in several different positions, and speeding that up. I think that would work effectively. So this is what I'm going to go with.
