240 seconds

Project brief to create a sequence of images based on an individually given time scale (mine being 240 seconds - 4 minutes).
Came across "The 4 minute warning" system during my initial research which was used by the British government during The Cold War. This is the approx. length of time a Soviet nuclear missile attack against the UK could be confirmed and its impact publicised to the general public. (via air raid signals, television, radio etc.)
Above images are screenshots taken from Radioheads "4 minute warning" video inspired by the system itself.
