What is the best way to write a chase scene for a story?
I am writing a chase scene for my story. The killer is after the 2 friends (the main characters.) This is obviously an important part of the story and I want it to be intense and really catch the reader's interest. It takes place in a European country at night and I want it to be filled with a few good scenes. It has to take place within two hours or so! I'm unsure of how to write it. Should I be really descriptive or have my sentences short? How many scenes for such a short time frame would be appropriate? Any ideas on what kinds of scenes I should have? Thanks in advance and please no rude answers.
Need Ideas! Creating a Short Story with a Chase Scene! PLEASE HELP!?
Sounds like you need this for a contest entry or graded paper... If that's the case you should probably have an original idea. Anyway, I won't go in depth with anything but here's some more basic ideas: - chasing your shadow -chasing your dreams -chasing something on a treadmill or conveyor belt and going nowhere That's all I can really think of that might be considered "out of the box." Best of luck.
Reposted: Short Story ideas (revolving around "beauty")?
(I posted this a while back, but didn't recieve too many replies ..I guess I didn't include enough info... so I reposted it, this time with more details) I need some possible short story ideas (PLOT ideas) for the themes of "destruction of beauty" or "nature of beauty" ... or anything else "beauty" related. I've decided that the main character is a girl, and that the first paragraph will be of her chasing a butterfly (in her dream). The butterfly represents the "beauty".. she's chasing after beauty (i guess)...that was my original idea, but i can't seem to think of a proper plot that goes along with it. It doesn't matter if its a romance, thriller, etc... though I'd love it if it had some suspense/mystery/a twist to it! :) Any help will be highly appreciated :) ! oh and also..(for those saying "think up your own plot") ...I'd love to think up my own plot (its definitely more rewarding that way). But I've got 3 days to write a rough copy of a short story for school. The writing takes a long time, but I'm not too worried about the "writing" part (since it's only a rough copy). But i've wasted an entire week trying to come up with a good solid plot.. I cant seem to think "outside the box"! So I finally decided to ask for some help on Yahoo! Answers..!! :)
Writers, I need help writing a police chase scene?
Hi, There are many parameters to consider even when writing what appears to be a simple chase scene. My advice is to imagine yourself in the chase itself. Note what you see, feel, think, etc. This is the only way, really. You might like to get down a few powerful and pacey words to prime your engine first, words that evoke a sense of movement. Speed, rapid, flash, streak, blaze, hurricane, blistering, leapt, skittered, blinding, strode, dived, etc, etc. Take 'fast and the furious', for instance. Can you hear the beat of the words? Repeat them to yourself over and over, as though they were lyrics to a song - FAST! and the FURIOUS! FAST! and the FURIOUS! FAST! and the FURIOUS! Let the alliteration sound of the F's get your blood pumping . Then write out your piece straight from the top of your head without stopping. See where it takes you. Whether it's good or bad initially is of no relevance. The trick is to get anything onto paper so that you have something to work with. Remember, get pumped up, put yourself in the chase, feel the excitement, then quickly write what you see and feel! Good luck
Filming a chase movie.. any ideas?
well changing the location would be the easiest thing to do and making there be a foreshadow of a battle by having the characters pick up weapons along the way. also a change in pace would be good, like having one of the characters thinking that the have jjust got away/ just have been caught. example: the chaser walking towards the chased with a knife and just as he is about to lift the knife and elevator opens and the chased falls in with the chaser throwing the knife at him. also keeping making easch scene have a mini- story which builds to the bigger picture.
The first scene of my novel is a chase scene where two boys are being chased. But I haven’t revealed their names, so there’s a lot of “the first boy”, “the other boy”, “then the other boy” for 4 pages and it’s confusing . How can I fix this?
Reading this question, I had a couple thoughts. Questions. The answers to the questions indicate how to handle the scene.First, is it necessary to distinguish which boy is doing what? Does it matter or are you mainly trying to get across that two boys are being chased? If it doesn’t matter, then don’t worry about it. Just describe what’s happening and let the reader know that there are two boys. If the reader wants to know which boy is doing what, let them figure it out for themselves.Second, though, if it is important to differentiate the boys, can you include dialogue? (Depends on whether they are in a situation where talking/whispering/shouting is appropriate.) If dialogue can be included, then use dialogue tags. (You can find out about dialogue tags in previous posts on my web page if you don’t know what I’m talking about.) Dialogue tags are wonderful. Fabulous.Thirdly, if it is important to differentiate the boys and you cannot include dialogue, then choose something about each boy that can quickly and easily be described, like unusually long hair or a torn pant legs or something more creative that you’ll come up with because you know the story. As you describe the chase scene, describe what’s happening to that special thing as the boys are trying to get away. Long, blonde hair got caught and had to be torn free. A torn pant leg ripped more each time something happened until the pant leg had to be be torn off completely. Or something else entirely. The description of what happens to the item will also be a description of the boy so the reader will be able to keep them straight.
Opening scene ideas for movie?
i love to write stories, and i love to make plots! in these cases i myself advise you to create a reversing scene, i mean if the ending of this villain was bad, just make a scene of what happened to him, the complicated it was the better it gets, i mean try to put the ending on the beginning, yes it will be the true ending, but .. bcuz the reader knows nothing about this story, he will be missed up, and actually will read the story to know ... HA!! .. WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT?!
