FIlming: Title Sequence

For our title sequence we decided to do a time-lapse of the outside of college. We thought about doing this from the outside, with our student stood still and people passing by. However as this would take a long time we would have to hope for idea weather and lately we have had snow and wind which would make our filming a lot harder to accomplish. This could also raise the problem of people possibly not wanting to be on camera and use having to edit them out or re-shoot. For these reasons, we decided to do the shot from inside college, looking down from the 4th floor (the highest we could get) on to the outside of college. This, combined with the speed of our desired timelapse would make it impossible to distinguish any one person, and this way the wind contributed to the filming as it meant leaves and things were blowing by, which would add to the time lapse. 

I set the camera up and pointed it down, making sure to get the locations people will walk past or stand in most in the shot. I also had to be careful of the reflection from the window, but as the sun was fairly bright and the shot was very low angled this didnt seem to be a problem. The recording was done for 25 minutes (30 minutes filmed, but the last 5 were interrupted by a student knocking the camera and so are unusable). This footage has yet to be edited in to the time-lapse titles, and once it is we intend to add our 'The Student' title as a fade in in the center.

Here are some pictures of the camera set up.
