Car Chase
I found that a lot of films used quick edits to show the fast pace journey of a care chase. By using fast edits it creates opportunity to show different views of the car and use different camera angles that add to the effect of a wild car chase.
This first clip is taken from The fast and furious and shows a fast car chase between the 1 character in the car and the others who are on motorbikes. At the start of the clip it shows just before the car chase starts and the main character gets in his car. There are 71 fast shots used in this car chase scene from when he gets in the car to the clip where you see one of the guys falling off his bike and rolling across the floor. This scene only takes 2 minutes to show a car chase but is extremely effective to show the speed they are going and all the detail needed to inform the audience that they are also shooting each other as the chase continues.
The second video i found shows the top 10 car chase scenes. which shows how although they are mostly all fast pace scens they include lots of detail about the chase that makes them all very different, for example:
The location and setting of the car chase to help it fit in with the movie it is from and help inform the audience of where they are or racing to.
The characters as they are the people from the story line of the film.
The vehicles used for example cars, bikes and trucks.
The time of shots they use as long shots work well for showing something like a car flying across a bridge but are less useful showing a car speeding round a corner.
The angle they use as a close up would show details like the panic of the driver or a close up of how fast a wheel is going and long shots that would show where the car is going or who they are following
Car chase scenes work well to show how effective it can be to use lots of fast pace edits in 1 short scene or clip, although not all car chase scenes are fast pace and use quick edits.
