I filmed my opening sequence in an old abandoned care centre at an undisclosed location. A fire had broken out recently in the building leaving a large hole in the ceiling. This creates emotive lighting, perfect for portayjng the emotions of my protagonist.
A shot from the location:
I filmed the sequence with a DSLR camera, the Nikon D3300 with the stock lens. The stock lens has a relatively low f stop value which means I was able to create a shallow depth of field essential to replicate the cinema look and feel.
Whilst filming my opening sequence, I found it difficult to hold the camera steady. To improve the final piece I should have used a tripod, however some of the shakiness was softened post production. After evaluating one of the shots of my protagonist on set, I decided that this particular shot was not steady enough. I re-filmed this particular shot using a wet floor sign as a temporary tripod.
