A chase sequence typically features fast-paced action music and sound effects like footsteps and screeching cars. Visually, chase sequences use a variety of shots like close-ups, long shots, and point-of-view shots to establish locations and build tension. The document discusses analyzing example chase sequences from films to identify these common cinematic techniques, including sound design and shot selection. Students are divided into groups to analyze assigned scenes and answer questions about the sound and visual elements used and how they construct tension. The goal is to learn how sound and images work together to create compelling chase sequences across different films.
