This first video explains many techniques to use with a tripod. This is important because I will be using a tripod in my film, however its just going to be a horror film. One important technique I could use from the video is the rubber band technique on the tripod to help with steady pans and tilts of the scene. The different ways to hold the camera in order for it to be steady is really well done such as the steady rig technique. Because Im using a tripod its important to know how to use it rather than just using it as a placeholder for your camera or phone.

This second video shows a drone "god like" view from the top of the chase scene. Also, the behind the scenes are shown of the fight scene and what they did to make it look good. Although Im not having an action kind of film, its still cool to see this video to give me more ideas of shots I can use on my characters.

Using long lens pan and traveling along with the subject is super important when doing a chase scene to immerce the audience into the film. Making it look like the character is running with someone following him in separate shots make the film fit together really well.

Using a tripod in multiple ways is important to make a scene as hard as a chase scene good. The pan even if its in a circle can be made really well done with a tripod, which I did not expect. Another important thing I have to do in my film is use a variety of shots on the character whether its a close up of his face, his body, his legs or a top or low angle of him running. Many quick shots of people running are required to create the fast paced atmosphere.
