Some problems we faced when making our opening sequence

We had a few problems during our project, but managed to overcome most of them.

  • We had static buzzing from the camera in every shot, however it was slightly different in each shot, so was fairly noticeable.

To overcome this we would have to invest in more professional cameras, but we had to make do with what we were given.

  • We had problems with the camera staying in focus.

For some reason automatic focus was going crazy and we couldn’t find the switch to change it, but the technician helped us, so now we know where the switch is for the future.

  • In our cellar location, there was a window which let light in, meaning that the lighting changed as the filming day progressed.

This taught us to be creative with what we had, so we used art paper to cover the windows, and spotlights.

  • When filming in the cellar, there was not much room.

We had to manoeuvre two actors and three members of crew along with a huge tripod and boom pole in a very small space, and it was very tight, but we managed.
