zoom trials

This is an example from Star Wars, of a fast tracking zoom. at 1.54 minuet. We have tried to create the same effect in our film.

The first example: We walked towards the character with the camera, were focusing on. Then in Final Cut we speed up the time to 400. We thought this looked the most effective out of all the trials we shot. This type of shot will look good when the protagonist is being chased by the antagonist.

Example 2 and 3: With the camera we zoomed in on the character then in finial cut we speed theses clips to 400 again. However, we didn't find this looked as effective as the first example.
In all these clips we need to make them longer by filming at a greater distance, and also that the character the camera is focusing on is still.
We may use this style of zoom at the end of our opening as the main character wakes up tied up.
