I am writing a script I would like to make my first feature, when I am ready for it. It's a micro-budget action movie, but I don't want all the action scenes to be indoor fights, to save money. I want a couple to be different and go outdoors and onto the street. I'll use the final chase scene from Green Zone as an example. It was mostly on foot, some cars, and done all on ground level, so therefore, no acrobatic stuntmen will be needed to leap from building to building and what not. However that movie was shot from multiple angles and the streets were booked off.
Booking off streets can be quite costly. What would audiences rather see? A chase that is done from all the best angles, or is it okay for a low budget movie to shoot action scenes lower budget style? So would distributors go for an action movie it had a chase, just as high budget as Green Zone in terms, of what happens, but the camera angles were not as good and it was shot very quickly without the streets booked off? You can shoot people running without booking off the streets, but not from near as good of angles.
