Pre Production - Inspiration - Bourne Chase Scene

After watching the numerous chase scenes of the three Bourne films we felt the London scene in “Bourne Ultimatum” was the most effective. We chose to use this one to search for techniques we could apply to our own film.

This is an example of the fast camera movement consistently used in the Bourne chase scenes; we decided to include fast blurred shots in our film as we felt it added a sense of urgency as well as encouraging panic and confusion. We thought that without such methods of creating excitement a chase scene could become quite boring and may loose the attention of the audience.

We also looked at the clothing of the characters in the films, we felt as it was more of a thriller film that attire such as cloaks and more conventional, stereotypical clothing would not be necessary. We chose to use normal clothing apart from Harry, the antagonist, wearing boots and putting his hood up to create a more mysterious and potentially dangerous character.
