Storyline/ Fight scene tips

Last class we all came together and came up with the main idea of our film opening which is going to be about boxing. We are still trying to come up with a solid story line that can fit into our action genre. We drew a little sketch of the boxing scene and how we would set that up.

We also wrote a bunch of notes of the possible directions we can go with film opening for example, after the fight he ends up being pronounced dead when he's actually been alive, hiding in his home. Or he ends up getting horribly injured and wakes up in the hospital. This would then set up the plot for the whole movie ,which is, the boxer having to heal and become the best at fighting again.

I also did some research on how to create a good fight scene. A technique I learned from the article "6 Helpful Tutorials for Filming Realistic Fight Scenes", was to make the camera apart of the action. For example using quick pans or tilts, creates more of a sense of violence. Editing is also a very important part of the process. There needs to be many sound effects like grunts, hits or tears. Also in order for the fight to look very real, it's important to choreograph everything. Also according to the article,“Production Tips: The Proper Way to Record A Fight Scene.”, by using blocking to create the actors movement, it will really make the fight scene look amazing.
