In class we was given a task to
create a a video that is a chase sequence called 'The Chase', we was given a
limited amount of time to create this and also limited Mise en scene. My groups
chase footage got deleted and we have had technical trouble uploading a new one
but we did get to try out the four different aspects of film making and these
are my comments.
Sound
It was decided to stick with the diegetic sounds of the scene as it created a realistic effect. We wanted the chase to be quite a scary chase and went for quite a classic chase of a bully chasing a victim.
Cinematography
It was decided to use a range of shots but perhaps used too many different shots in such a short time period which made it look jumpy and not flow properly, I will bare this in mind for my trailer. The cinematography could be improved vastly as a lot of the shots were taken on bad angles and the camera was often turned around from vertical to horizontal shots so the scene doesn't make as much sense however in some respects it worked in our favour as the choppiness and weirdness suits the chase. We used a mixture of close up shots and long shots as it helps to show the facial expressions and in turn their reaction e.g. fear and the long shot distances the characters from each other to show that a chase is taking place. Both low angle and high angle shots were used e.g a low angle shot of the scared girl running down the stairs but we also used a high angle shot to show the bully chasing them. The high angle shot of the bully shows their power as she is chasing the girl and he appears round the corner just after showing hes is right behind her.
Editing
The main transitions that I used were straight cuts as it helps to keep up the speed of the film and fits with trailers which are usually are fast pace to cover a lot of footage in a short amount of time which interests the audience. I think one of the most effective transition was of feet in an action match shot this really helped us cover a larger distance in a shorter time frame. we used jump cuts on the certain scenes as it quickens up the pace and gets rid of parts that aren't needed to be shown as it still presents the change over time.
Mise En Scene
We were limited in terms of Mise en scene as we had to film the chase in college however this didn't look very professional. so we decided to find areas of college that looked like a derelict building. We found a older looking fire escape near the psychology department and used a long shot to start the video, thus creating the impression that the bully was just waiting for the victim. We found a few locked doors we used to show them trying to escape and having to take another route to show how there are problems encountered and narrowing the escape.
