We thought it would be good to adopt the dolly shot for our flashback/chase scene to make the scene as smooth looking as possible; we did not want it to look like we used a handheld camera. Furthermore, we felt that a handheld camera following the chase would not produce a clear enough shot. As we had limited resources, we had to revert to unorthodox methods in order to achieve our goal of producing a dolly shot style. So, we put the cameraman (myself) into a trolley holding the tripod (as seen in the photo) and had people push it on either side whilst I uncomfortably filmed the chase. All in all the process of filming this scene was a lot harder than we had anticipated. Considering the circumstances, I believe we were successful in achieving the desired shot. Our main aim was for a visually smooth outcome, and for all the characters to be seen in the shot - we achieved this.
