Chase Scene



Camera movements are mainly used to change or enhance the emotional direction of the film. For example, a slow dolly out makes the character seem emotionally lost and abandoned. Camera angles can be used to force the audience to focus on a specific action. They are also used to portray principals of design which in turn add to the audience's emotions.

A few things I thought were done well was the pacing. The quick shots allowed for a faster pace which made the chase seem more critical and intense. Another thing I thought was done well was the use of principals of design. Certain principals of design that were included greatly contributed to the overarching plot and goal of the chase. Those are some of the things that I thought were done well in this chase scene. On the contrary, I thought that the costumes of the actors changing made the film slightly confusing. Another thing was the speed of the actors running had to be sped up to the point where it almost took away from the actual chase. In total, those are the successes and things that could have been done better in the chase.

One of the ways that he does this is by introducing characters with carefully thought out back stories, and then killing those characters quite quickly. Another example of subverting the audience is when he makes you expect action because it is a spaghetti western, but instead the film is very dialogue centered. He also subverts expectations by changing the way that history plays out. This subverts the idea that the audience always knows how a historical ...

Investigation - Writing (Structure)

Why use Story Structure? The structure you use as a foundation for your script is key in creating a narrative that flows and excites. Most beginning writers make the mistake of ignoring story structure completely. However, if you ignore story structure your film will likely suffer from seeming aimless or boring. Story structure is a great tool for pacing your film at a rate that keeps your audience interested. Structure is also a way of making sure your audience doesn't get confused. Story structure does this by laying out events in a familiar fashion. For this investigation I will be learning how to utilize story structure, two types of story structure, and when to deviate from the provided structure. Structure - Three Act Structure The three act structure is the most common structure for telling film narrative. The only downside to using this structure is it doesn't tie everything together like the next two. An example of a film that uses this structure is Mad M...
