Production - Editing: flipping the shots

We have filmed various different tracking shots of Nimar walking in the streets. In our post-production we have been warned by Rebecca and Dan about the different directions in which Nimar is walking. As for example, if we start the music video with Nimar walking to the right and then change it to a shot of him walking to the left, it might look confusing. To solve that we simply will use the filter 'Flop' to switch the shots, so that they all look like he is walking to the same direction.

We have a preference for Nimar walking to the right because we think it feels better when we watch it. One of our friends watching Nimar walking to the left said that it feels like he is walking 'backwards' whereas is better if it feels like he is walking 'forwards'. However, the only problem with that is that some of the shots when flipped to the right, there are words written in the signs of the shops in the background, which will look reversed. This has a big impact in our decision of in which direction we think Nimar should be walking, and we have decided to make him walk to the left.
