Filming the chase scene

Today we filmed a scene we can edit in the trailer. We stayed behind after school until it was dark and decided to film some sort of chase film. We made sure the characters faces aren’t visible so the audience aren’t aware of who’s being chased, to add suspense.

 

To film this, we basically had to have someone running with the camera in their hand while chasing someone, to get the POV of the chaser. Although this caused blurryness, it also added a sense of realism to the scene in my opinion which worked out better than our other alternate idea, which was push the chaser in a trolley behind the person being chased, at an UNBELIEVABLY slow pace which looked closer to a slow motiion chase scene, which would have been very difficult to convey or explain in the trailer.

 

Here is a picture we took of the chase scene

 

 

 This was the perfect place for the scene because we also used the building on the right to film from a window upstairs, getting different levels for the shot.
