Treatment - Forest Chase Scene Research And Inspiration

We have looked at some forest chase scenes that feature in other films to use as inspiration for when we film our own chase scene.

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows - The Snatchers Chase Scene

This scene in Harry Potter relates to our scene in several ways as the protagonists are being tracked down by henchmen, and being chased through a forest.

There are a number of techniques in this clip that we plan to use in our own sequence; for example, tracking the characters as they run through the trees. We also plan to use the the techniques of following the characters from behind with handheld camera movement, and close ups of different body parts, such as feet running. We hope to replicate the fast paced editing in our own sequence.

Sherlock Holmes - A Game Of Shadows

In this scene, there is a variety of shots used. For example, there are low angle mid shots of the characters running away from camera. We hope to incorporate this technique into our project, as well as other aspects of this scene, again, such as tracking the characters as they run through the trees, and following behind them using handheld camera movement.

We would have liked to use slow motion, which is heavily used in this clip, but due to the equipment and software we have, this wouldn't be possible to the standard we would want.
