How to Shoot The Best Car Chase Scene ►► http://bit.ly/2Os4vlY

In today’s video, we’re going to show you how to plan and film the best car chase scene. Car chase scenes in movies are a staple, and we thought we’d use one of the best car chase examples from the last decade - Mad Max: Fury Road.

Filming a great car chase takes more than just story beats and elaborate stunts. That’s easy enough to say, but what makes this chase scene from Mad Max: Fury Road one of the best car chase scenes ever?

Answer: They used filmmaking techniques to their full potential.

Screen direction, 180-degree rule, basic camera movement, and the rule of thirds all need to be paid attention to if you want to make sure that your viewer will track and comprehend the events taking place.

That’s what George Miller does in Mad Max: Fury Road, and it is why that film is absolutely one of the greatest cinematic achievements ever made. His team got a ton of footage and then laced it all together through direction and editing.

In this video on car chases from Mad Max: Fury Road, we’ll go over:

Shot selection in high energy sequences

Screen direction and how to reorient the camera

Stable footage used during a particularly kinetic sequence

When you finish, you will see how a great director like George Miller plans out his car chase scenes, and how you can apply those lessons to your own film.

The end result: You will be able to build amazing car chase scenes that also tell a story.
