This thesis reviews some aspects of the modern developments in calculation methods and assesses a new expression for scattering amplitudes in gravity. We first revisit the basics of spinor helicity formalism, on-shell superspace, and on-shell recursion relations. Special focus is then given to calculating supergravity amplitudes using BCFW recursion relations. In particular, we present an expansion in the form of a BCFW representation in N=7 supergravity which can manifest bonus behavior of gravity amplitudes under certain high energy limits. This is a initial step in search of natural building blocks for supergravity amplitudes, taken with the eventual goal of uncovering the structure of gravity and providing a description that can manifest its hidden symmetries.
