Research Part 6 (Fight Scenes)

This is a link to a top 5 fight scenes clip on YouTube

In the first film, Warrior, we see a fight scene where an arrogant MMA fighter knocks out a training partner and complains that he needs a new partner. this arrogant character is always shot at a low angle to show his power over the rest of the club. A new character appears who is one of the two main characters, he steps up to the plate but is shot at a high angle showing him to be weaker or thought to be weaker than the MMA fighter. Most of the fight scene is shot with the fight going on out of focus and focusing in on ringside supporters. The shooting of this is mainly 2 shot and mid shot types of shots. After the main character knocks out the MMA fighter he is still shot in a high angle showing he is emotionally vulnerable not physically vulnerable; but the MMA fighter is shown in a high angle showing that now he has been beaten he is weak. The rest of the films are not suitable as they were choreographed by professional martial artists, and the two actors we have fighting have no martial art experience.

This is a link to the film The Bourne Supremacy. This fight scene mainly consists of mid shots and close ups, this means that the fighting doesn't have to be of high quality but is still effective. The death scene of the assailant is shown out of shot only hinting his death by the frantic movements of his arms coming to a close.
