The Chase Task

  Our team (me, Harry Ellerd-Cheers, Alex Collins and Glyn Smith), or "Extreme Close Up Productions" quickly decided which roles we wanted for "The Chase" task. I chose to be cameraman, Harry the director and Glyn and Alex the editors/actors.We quickly decided what the premise for our film would be, going down the action/adventure route, taking inspiration from classic chase scenes seen in films from the James Bond series. 

With only an hour to actually film, our planning was brief and, of course, made the actual production much harder to pull off with a high quality. We worked quickly though, and although there were a few problems, we got the large majority of footage that we aimed for. These problems mainly consisted of other people (filming groups and students) getting in the way of our shots and taking up the same locations as we planned. Post-production also went by mostly hitchless, until the video was uploaded, when we discovered black flashes between each cut, too late to change. These flashes take away from the films quality and are, frankly, a little annoying.
