Brainstorming for Project 2

These videos from The Tunnel's YouTube channel gave me an idea:

The combination of road trip footage with a vaporwave track inspires me to create a datamoshed video for Project 2. I recently purchased a dash cam due to the increasing amount of vehicle accidents in order to ensure that I have proper evidence of whatever events may occur during a drive.

Not too long ago, I also watched The Blair Witch Project (1999) and it amazes me how it brought about the art of found footage to Hollywood cinema.

The video portion could be filmed using my dash cam. It can support video footage up to 1440p so pretty high definition. One disadvantage of using a dash cam is that unlike a regular video camera I can't really bring many varieties of camera angles. A workaround for this though is to add variety by dismounting the dash cam and moving it around while still recording. This would require me to have another person drive the car - I wouldn't want to be fiddling around with the dash cam mid-drive!

Some video footage ideas I've came up with:

1. Driving down a highway (eg. Highway 7 in KW)
2. Stuck on a highway (probably Highway 7 during rush hour)
3. Driving down a road surrounded by farmland (eg. near St. Jacob's or one of the roads leading to Guelph?)

As for the audio, it could be one of these:

1. Audio attached to the video. That way they can be datamoshed along with the video. Could be interesting to have a combination of dialogue, music from the radio, or sounds from my phone. 
2. Audio prerecorded. I could easily insert the audio into the video and retake as needed, but it takes away from the purity of the found footage. It can be datamoshed separately which could lead to interesting results.
3. Audio sampled and remixed from other sources, à la vaporwave. This could be as simple as lifting a track from elsewhere (but not advisory) or as difficult as myself creating one from scratch.
4. What if I took an image and tried to play it as an audio track? It may end up as just noise, but worth some experimenting.

Edit: After chatting with the instructor, more audio to consider in the car could be opening windows to hear the traffic, wind, etc. Those could be interesting elements to add. As for copyrighted music, the audio probably has to become completely unrecognizable, so probably not worth it. I think going for the authentic audio is a good idea, just need to find a way to datamosh so that audio is also affected.
