'The Keep' Title Sequence Test Shots/ Location Scout

My idea for the title sequence for 'The Keep' was to have multiple close-ups of a stone building, standing in for the eponymous Keep itself intercut with shots of mountainous landscapes in reference to the setting of the Transylvanian Alps in Romania.

It is most likely that I will be unable to acquire shots of mountainous landscapes myself, therefore I shall probably use stock footage to fill in these areas.

I decided to try and get some test shots for the title sequence. As it happens, there are several old buildings such as pill-boxes which were used during the Second World War around area where I live. These disused buildings from a time gone by would be perfect for my idea, making it look like an old fortress.

Obviously, the pill-boxes themselves are quite small, meaning that I should use close-ups on various parts of the building using varying angles. This should hopefully give the illusion of a far bigger structure.

Here are some examples of the shots I managed to get:

I was able to get some videos, showing what kind of shots I am planning to use. These will be included as an edited video in a future blog.
