BROMA Fight Scene - Choreographed First Draft

Here in this video you can see the fight scene that Lewis and I have choreographed, it took us roughly half an hour to work out all of the aspects of the fighting. We want to give the impression to the audience that we are both highly trained people and have a lot of experience within the area, and both are a good match for each other. To do this we will do a lot of flamboyant fighting, and a lot of wild kicks and punches. We don’t want it to seem like were just having a simple brawl either, hence the reason we have choreographed everything that we will be doing in advanced. This means that when we come to filming the fight scene we will both no what we are doing and will be expecting and ready to react what the other person is about to do, so for example when I through a punch at Lewis, Lewis will be expecting it and therefore catch it/block it.

One of the issues that came up when doing the fight scene was that we found we were falling to the ground very hard a lot of the time. Thankfully however we had mats to fall on although this may be an issue when we actually come to feeling the actual fight scene. We will be asking the P.E department whether we would be allowed to borrow some of the mat when it comes to filming. An issue that then will arise from using the mats would be if the audience will be able to see them in the film. This could gives an UN professional sense to the trailer, which we don’t feel will make a good. To conquer this issue we will frame the scene if such a way that the mats will be just out of the shot, and when a character I then on the floor and has falling on the match we will switch the angle and take a way the mat to give the impression there was never a mat there.
