Chase+Scene

===As we just finished discussing different camera angles and movements, we will no apply these skills to a small project. You will get into partners or a small group and will develop chase scenes. These scenes will showcase a variety of different camera shot types and movements to make a person travelling from point A to point B more engaging and interesting to the viewer.===

**__Step 1 - Come up with a concept__**

 * These scenes will be about 1 minute and 30 seconds in length.***

These scenes will be taking place in and around the school. You will need to think of reason for your chase to begin (Ex: Someone is trying to steal from you, you really need to go to the washroom, trying to make it to the servery line before it gets too big, etc). Once you have a concept, you need to determine a start and an endpoint for your production in terms of location. Make sure that you are not disruptive to other classes during this time as school is in session. You may also film outside on school grounds.

** __Step 2 - Create a Shot List__ **
Once you have your idea, you will need to break each detail of the scene down into its very most basic parts.You are not limited to any specific shots for this chase scene. You may use any of the shots that we discussed in the previous section located: @https://vimeo.com/52010997


 * Your scene should have 25 to 30 different cuts***

Here is an example of how a shot list should look:

** __Step 3 - Production__ **
You will borrow a camera from the backroom to carry out this production. Here are the details that you will need to know about the capturing of this project.


 * During this stage, you and your group will film all required footage needed for your chase scene. You will have approximately 4 (four) classes to complete filming, so use your time wisely.
 * Filming must be as professional as possible. Make sure you follow proper shot composition techniques and use equipment to assist with high-quality filming ( microphones, etc. as required).
 * Your filming will feature:
 * Excellent variety of shots (close-ups, long shots, interesting angles, natural framing, rule of thirds, etc.).
 * Steady shots (unless you are deliberately trying to create an effect with shaky camera work) - USE A TRIPOD!
 * Multiple takes of shots when on location. This allows you to choose the BEST shot from all your footage for your final video and helps eliminate the need to go out and reshoot scenes.
 * Consistent costume/on-screen talent. Nothing can ruin a video's professional appearance more than accidental changes in costumes, actor appearance, lighting, etc. Pay attention to these details when filming.
