Research: Chase scenes

The main action scene in our production is a chase. In order to create an effective chase scene I have researched many short films like the one below.
From 0:07- 0:09 there is a really effective camera in which follows the main character which is running in the chase. Having already conveyed that he is being chased by someone behind him having this moving shaking camera shot that's around eye level gives the scene of the audience effectively being the pursuer and I think adds to the speed of the chase. I wish to use this camera angle that follows in our chase scene due to the fast tempo it creates.

From 0:16-0:19 there is another shot in which I think is very unique and I shall be using in our film. The two people in the chase jump over the camera which is placed on its back on the floor looking towards the sky. All you see is the victim and pursuers feet jump over and the noise of them panting which creates a serious and tense atmosphere as well as giving the sense of a quick chase.
