After discussing with my Me, Brandon, Callum and Jack we have decided create a opening of an action thriller film our plan is to create a chase seen were one of us (the most athletic one) is being chased by rest of us this was mainly my idea but when I told every one my idea they all agreed with me. At this moment I think the school will be the best place to film as there are many corridors in the school which will make the chase seen look much better. As we are doing a action film I will be researching many different chase scenes in films that have both inside and outside sequences. Just under this paragraph is a mood board that I have created with loads of conventions of a action films including chase scenes.

As you can see from the mood board the main themes of the chase scenes involves anything that can create tension, suspense and excitement fits the action genre and these thing can be also seen in chase sequences as they are supposed to create suspense as you wonder what is going to happen the protagonist. In terms of editing chase sequences contain loads of jump cuts so it doesn't break the tension in the scene. Now with camerawork many different types of camera shots are used to show the chase from different angles such as P.O.V angle to show it from the eyes of the person being chased or the low angle shots when someone jumps over something and the camera is directly under them which creates the illusion that they are jumping over a very deep hole, cliff, etc
Another thing that can be seen from my mood board is that some chase sequences include basic parkour (free running) which is jumping other obstacles that are in a persons way while running instead of slowing down and running around it however I don't think any one in my group, including me, will be able to do it as none of us have ever done parkour before so it's not are biggest priority to include parkour in our opening.
