I'm looking for a very stylistic visual reference where a car pulls to a stop and people jump/hop out of the car. For some reason my mind is drawing a blank and I can't think of a scene where this happens. Help, any ideas?
I think Bad Boys II has a few scenes like this, can't remember exactly though and Shaun of the Dead has a good one at the very end when the military comes to the rescue. Definitely check out any movie with a SWAT scene in it (usually lots of people hopping in/out of the vehicle), or movies based around cars (i.e. Fast and the Furious, etc). Hope that helps a bit
Thanks for the suggestions guys. These are all good references but I actually shot this on Saturday. When I get a chance to cut the scene I'll post it on here. What I did was cover it in three ways that I hope will cut together nicely.
1 - Wide limited frame establishing shot on a long lens between two rails about 40 yards away. Racked focus from rails to truck as truck parks.
2 - Dolly going left as TINY ASIAN Girl jumps out of front seat (she literally jumps bc truck is high of the ground and she is tiny)
3 - Dolly right on other side of the truck as BIG BLACK GUY gets out
