ideas for background music
here are some songs that i have found on a royalty free website, and i think that these will work in my chase scene
decision on background song type
after looking into some of the chase scene sound tracks that are played in the background i have noticed that they are all mostly deep bass and the pitch of the songs are low, therefore increasing the tension in the audience.
i will use a similar tune for my film chase as this will create tension in the audience and this is one of the conventions that is possibly very important in a modern chase scene, if the song does not fit the chase scene then this will ruin the whole chase as the atmosphere in the audience will not be good

background music research - the league of extraordinary gentlemen
in the chase scene from the league of extraordinary gentlemen the music played in the background is of a similar nature to what is played in terminator salvation as it is also has low pitched instruments and there are a few trumpets playing as well and they break up the sound track making it more thrilling.

background music research - terminator salvation
in the highway chase on terminator salvation there is a sound track that is played in the background and this is quite quiet as it allows the user to hear all of the action in the film and the song is there to effect your responses and feeling. this song is very low pitched and it is a slow song, which means that it raises the tension in the audience as it gives the impression that something bad will happen in the chase scene.

analysis of The Great Escape
here is the chase scene from the great escape and this is one of the most famous chases in the filming business, at the time when this film was made the chase scene was full of action and the audience would be on the edge of their seats waiting to find out what happens. this chase scene is a chase for freedom and this uses different conventions to both of the other types of chases. here are all of the conventions that are met:
1. the chase begins with an establishing shot, showing the audience the location
2. the action comes into the screen and the chase begins
3. a problem has arisen and the chase stops
4. people who are chasing the person running away are introduced
5. the chase restarts and continues
6. another problem is found
7. a solution appears and it is taken
8 the persons break for freedom is stopped and he is caught (end of the chase)
in its time period this chase scene would have been amazing for the audience, but now that the chase conventions and editing have changed it does not seem as action packed to the younger generation. the music that has been used in this chase scene is of a high tempo and the tune is high pitched and this emphasises the rush in the chase making it more exciting. i may think of using some of these conventions in my film opening.
analysis of The League Of Extraordinary Gentleman
the chase scene for Mr. Hyde in the film The League Of Extraordinary Gentleman is full of excitement and it also keeps the audience on the end of their seats. the chase in this film is different to what Beverly hills cop has, because in this chase scene they are hunting/capturing Mr.Hyde, not trying to stop him. because this chase scene is different to the scene in Beverly Hills cops, the conventions will be slightly different too as the chase is of a different kind. here are all of the conventions that this chase meets:
1. the chase starts off with a piece of text telling the audience where the chase is taking place
2. the person running away/being chased is shown first in the sequence
3. there is an establishing shot showing an iconic and famous structure to give away the location of the chase (The Ieffel tower)
4. the chase begins and the trap starts to kick into action.
5. the plan has a stick/difficult situation (not going to plan)
6. the plan is pulled back and the hunt/chase continues
7.the person being chased fights back and the chase stops for a brief second
8. the chase stops and the person being chased is captured
some of the sounds that have been used in the scene have been enhanced to show a dramatic effect, such as Mr. Hydes foot steps and the debris form where the bullets hit
1. this is the enhancement of the foot steps:
2. here is the enhancement of the debris and the bullets hitting the walls:
the music that has been used in this chase scene is typical of a chase scene as it has a high and deep beat to it raising tension in the audience and increasing the excitement. i will consider using some of these conventions and plots that have been used in this film chase and apply them to my film.

analysis of Beverly Hills cop III - chase
the car chase scene is form Beverly Hills cop III and this is an action packed thrill ride that raises the audiences excitement and thrill of the film... this chase scene is most typical of the modern day chase scene as it involves a bad guy running away and then a good guy chasing them, also the chase is in motor vehicles with the bad guys in a truck full of stolen money and the good guy in another persons sports car, this is also very typical of a motor chase as the audience fantasises that they are the good guy driving the sports car. this scene is near the beginning of the film and there is a good establishing shot of the area before the chase happens. this film has met lots of the conventions that apply to chases in films and they are:
1. the bad guys always get a head start and they run off smashing anything in the way therefore clearing the path for the good guy, this is shown in the clip underneath
2. the good guy notices the bad guys are getting away at speed and jumps in a sports car to chase them, this is shown in the clip underneath
3. the good guy starts to shoot the bad guys car in front and then the bad guys leader tells the henchmen to return fire, this is shown in the clip bellow
4. the good guy gets stuck in a difficult situation and is getting hammered by the bad guys (the bad guys are winning) this is shown in the clip bellow
5. the good guy pulls it together and starts to strike back, almost killing or killing one of the bad guys
6. then the chase picks up to a more faster pace and the good guy is closing in, this is showin in the clip below
7.there are then some bad guys waiting around the corner to end the chase and the bad guys get away, this is shown in the clip below
8. then the whole of the story is based on the bad guys from this chase.
all of these are conventions for a good chase scene, but there are more depending on the type of chase. when i am planning my film opening chase i will consider all of these conventions to make my chase as good as it can be
also the music that is used in the film chase is deliberately incorrect as the typical music for a chase scene uses heavy beats and there is no singing, i think that the makers of this film used incorrect music to fit in with the comedy side of this film as part of the genre of Beverly Hills cops is comedy, but the main genre is action so there are only some hints as to it being a comedy such as this music track.

write up of problems for preliminary film draft
I have been set the task to make a film including a series of shots, however I did not follow the criteria because I did not include a shot reverse shot in the film and this was part of the criteria. I have asked some people to star in my film and they have acted out all of the dialog and I have shot all but one of the many shots that were required, I have included a close up, shot both sides of the door opening and closing, I have then done an over shoulder shot, then an aerial shot and then another over shoulder shot. When I filmed the shots I then uploaded them onto the computer and I finally edited it on the computer, then I finished off by uploading it onto my blogger.
In the film that I have made there are a few mistakes that I have made in the film, one of them mistakes is that I have left the tripod in the scene (this is visible when the video is on 0.13 to 0.16 seconds in the film)
I then made another mistake and this was that I did not follow the criteria, I did this by not including a shot reverse shot into my film. If I could improve this film I would correct these two mistakes that I have done and I would do this by checking that there is no equipment in the scene and then I would double check that I have applied all of different shots that are required in the film.
There are many shots that are used in film today and I have applied some of them shots in my film and all of them are in this order:
· Close up
· Master shot
· Pan
· Over shoulder
· Pan
· Over shoulder
· Aerial shot
· Mid shout
In total there are 8 different camera shots that are in my film and they are in the order shown, the close up shot is a close up of the door handle, then the master shot was showing the audience the location of the film, then the pan followed the person walking into the room, walking across the room, then the over shoulder shot was following the person into the other room showing his point of view with him in the picture, then there was another pan shot with the person entering another room where someone else is waiting and it follows him until he sits down, then there is an over shoulder shot with two people and they then start to talk, then there is an aerial shot of the two people talking and finally there is a mid shot of one of the people talking. I then uploaded the film onto the computer and then edited all of the scenes cutting all of the unnecessary bits of the scenes, finally I then uploaded it onto YouTube and then I pasted the video onto my blog.
The mise en scene in the film that I have made is all to do with school, I have used all of the things in the film to link with the fact that the two people are students in a lesson, I have used the tables in the room to relate to the idea of a class room also I have used a desk in that room for the teacher also the rooms are very plain and there are notices on the walls, there is a notice board, a fire bell, a fire exit, there is a poster diagram on the wall and there are a lot of chairs that are always in schools, all of these props are included to convince the audience that the tow people are in a school and are waiting for the teacher. I have then used a dark room on the outside of the class rooms and then there is a classroom with the light on and finally the end classroom is quite dark with the light from outside shining through the window, this backs the idea of the two students are waiting for the teacher to come into the lesson.
