Research Part 9 (Running Scene)

This link below is to the running scene from the film Fight Club. The sequence is shot, mainly in long shots and long shots to mid shots. This would be good for my film as I need to create a sense of isolation for my main character.

This is a link to a running sequence from the film Forrest Gump. The sequences is mainly composed of midshots to emphasise the struggles of the main character. It is also shot partly in slow motion to show the rapid change the main character has undergone and to create tension. The shot then cuts to a scene Tom Hanks talking; showing what we have seen to be a flashback. The scene then cuts back to the chase but this time the scene is shot in an longshot to extreme long shot; this shows the main character is free and is 'running off into the sunset'.

This sequence is from the film District 13 Ultimatum. This shows the professional free runner David Bell escaping some gangsters in a apartment block. The sequences are composed of tracking shots, mid shots, long shots and extreme long shots. The mid shots are used to show Bell's power and control over the situation. The long shot are used to emphasize the tricks and stunts performed in the escape. The extreme long shot is used at 2:40 to show the magnitude of the distance being jumped, used to pull the audience to the edge of their seats.

The link below is to a clip from the film trainspotting. In this clip nearly all the shot types are mid shots with the occasional close up. This redirects the attention away from what is going on to cause the chase, but to the context which occurs during the chase e.g. at 8 seconds we see one character who is being chased fall behind, even though he is out of focus it is still clear to see. There is one long shot which shows one of the character get away while the other stops; this shows long shots to be useful when trying to create a sense of freedom and escapism, also shown in Forrest Gump and in D13 Ultimatum.
