Tip #174: DISTINGUISH PARTICIPANTS IN A CHASE. Since the earliest days, movies have featured chases. This actionβa staple of westernsβ clearly separated screen drama from theater productions. While βBullittβ (1968) made the sub-genre βcar chaseβ popular, the earliest example is βRunaway Matchβ (1903). Many factors go into making a memorable chase whatever the form of locomotion. These include interesting locations, exciting music, and careful staging so that the outcome is in doubt for most of the sequence. Another key issue is visually distinguishing the participants. You donβt want viewers to be confused about who is chasing whom. The frame here is from βBeautiful Dead Thingsβ co-directed by @ReneeFaia and Ingela Ogard. No mistaking the chaser and the chasee. #mobilemoviemakingtips #chasescenes #smartphonefilmmaking #movieprops #filmchases https://www.instagram.com/p/B4gCapIhgSo/?igshid=1annjgxbnijmt
