In my initial storyboard, the idea for the long introduction was to have a long, wide angle shot looking down on a couple sleeping in bed. The idea behind the shot was that it would show a distance between the main character and the rest of her life, were she to be lying awkwardly and with great distance between herself and her partner. However, there were several problems with capturing this shot.
First of all, it was very difficult to get the camera at the correct angle due to the fact that I had to hold it at arms length and so I couldn't see the shot as I took it. This added a lot to the filming time of our first filming session. The second problem I encountered was an issue with camera stability. It was practically impossible to keep the camera steady for long enough, and when I did manage, my actors struggled to stay still long enough themselves. The way I chose to get around this was to take a still from the shot and stitch it together multiple times.
