Videomaker article review- Action sequence car chasing

Title: Dynamic Chase Scenes  Author: Peter John Ross,  Magazine issue: Jan 2008

It is about how to make a well made car chase scene by getting a different amount of shot from closeups of the speedometer or the key in the ignition or push to start button if in the car also closeup of the tires spinning. To wide shots of the car with the driver in it driving the vehicle or car from behind driving away at top speeds. It also talks about how sound effects are easy 50% of the video, form just adding more loud spinning tires and police sirens and cars honking while the car drives away to make more tension and make the situation more intense.

I learned different shots you could use, and how just adding those little things could change how the whole video comes out and how it could effect the videos final thoughts from and audience.

I could use the different shots so i don’t have the same type of shots the whole time and at the end if theres isn’t enough good sound FX then add some more to make it better!

Weekly Update

Mathias and I just finished are interview with a piece of bacon.  It did not come out as well as we hoped.  I have to start my PSA now.  Also I need to start thinking about ideas for my final.

I am working on the Carlton Project video right now with Cam. Collette and I are going to film our action scene this weekend. We are brain storming ideas about our news broadcast and also our final. I am still waiting for videos from my family for my documentary.

(not so) Weekly update

Screen shot 2013-03-11 at 10.22.32 AM

Zach, myself, and Dom have not been keeping up on these weekly updates recently, due to the fall of the economy, Wall Street, and everything else we can blame. The set was set up with jerseys behing the desk, a football was placed on the desk, as well as the league trophy. We started filming last week, starting with me, then filmed Bird talk about how trash his team was, and the brutal trades he made. Arguments ensued about the Calvin and A.J Green trade, and behind the camera reactions were filmed. Jess couldn’t film due to her looks, and we are planning to film her soon. I also started the hockey highlight reel, and am hoping to finish that by monday, March 18.
