So, check out this video for top tips on how to film car scenes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re working on a new film and want to add in some variety with your scenes, the car is a great place to start. Often when we think of car scenes, we picture high-octane police chases and adrenaline-fuelled street races. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there have been some iconic scenes shot <em>inside <\/em>cars. Filming scenes in such a small space means more focus on the actors, the dialogue, and can set up a huge variety of possibilities. For example, this scene from Pulp Fiction (pre-warning: it&#8217;s Tarantino, so expect profanities and lots of blood).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Pulp Fiction Car Shot Cleaning Car Scene -  Drama Association Monologue\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9r7RXWSsEQ4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The scene wouldn&#8217;t work if it was shot in a big, open space like a room or out on the street. The rising tension is emphasised by the claustrophobic space. Focus on the characters&#8217; facial expressions and feelings is heightened, as there is nothing drawing attention away. The car, whilst being a literal vehicle, acts as a figurative vehicle to move the story along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how can you film car scenes like this yourself, without having a Tarantino budget?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>How to Film Car Scenes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"How to Film CAR SCENES (Camera + Audio Tips)\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TUZtZ7o-VFs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCpLfM1_MIcIQ3jweRT19LVw\">Cinecom.net<\/a> is a channel that focusses on all things filmmaking and editing.
