Analysis of Chase Scenes



This video is a free-running chase scene which we have used as inspiration for our project. the inspiration comes from the cinematography used in the above clip. It is fast paced, inventing camera angles and it keeps the audience watching. it also encompasses the stunts involved, which are used with the chase scene to give it depth.


The running man serves as an example of a bloodsport which involves chasing, and killing, which stripped down to the bare minimum, is our sequence. Running man is an excellent example of how we can manipulate the sequences story to make it entertaining, as well as add the twist of large scale media coverages and popularity in the public. Its adaptability of being applicable to the various social levels through the storyline. camera work and plot twists makes it an excellent film to pull inspiration from.


The Texas chainsaw massacre chase scene at the end of the film is a typical, horror chase scene, which includes the feeling of panic the victim may be feeling through the use of cinematography, sound, props and location. The use of lighting and sound plays a heavy role in making this scene the iconic horror chase sequence and would serve its purpose as providing us with a base of knowledge and passive input to add to our own sequence to acquire the effect we with to achieve.



The Cube encompasses  the  ideal of escaping an un-winnable  maze, this is is basic principles our short scene where at least one will die and we then find out the twist is that only one will end up surviving this brutal game. Light in the cube has been designed to distort your perception. Colour connotations the classic horror film but with the twist and turns to make the audience think twice before assuming the outcome of the scene.
