2 minute video - The Chase

For the 2 minute video I worked with Matt Taylor and Robbie King.

The story we decided on was based on something that happened to Robbie and his friend one night. It focuses on two main characters who are walking through the park and are feeling pretty paranoid due to them being high. They then see two shady looking characters point at them and start running in their direction, which causes them to run away. This then escalates to a whole chase scene, which comes to a halt due to a busy road. The two shady characters draw closer to the main characters cowering at the road, and begin jogging on the spot. When the traffic clears the joggers continue with their run.

This changed slightly when we were filming in Hyde Park. As we were walking around scouting good filming locations, i saw a bit of a hill, and decided it had to be incorporated into the video somehow. After a quick break while discussing changes to the video, we decided to have Robbie and Luke, the two main characters to jump over this hill to add a bit more action into the scene. This resulted in Robbie's hat falling off which made us decide to change the ending. The new ending would involve Robbie losing his hat and running away, and the joggers see this and pick up his hat to give back to him.

Heres my final edit:
