BROMA - 1st Scene

Choreographed Fight Scene - Research

Heres on of the fight scenes that Lewis and myself had a look at. We thought this was a great example of how a fight scene should be. We can relate this to our trailer as it too is based within a car park. Both actors clearly are experienced in martial arts so we can only try and come anywhere close to what they have made. One of the aspects of this fight scnee that we enjoyed was the fast pased nature of it. It is definitely an adrenline filled peice of film, and also the camera angles add to the atmosphere of it all. Something about this that we did not enjoy was the lack of blood and realism to it all. The sound effects are something that we will not take into our fight scene, they sound very fake and childish (like a comic book).

Trailer music

Above we have the music that we will be using for our teaser trailer. A very important factor which went into the choice of this music was the fact it was copyright free. (As stated on YouTube.) This means anyone can use  this music without breaching the rules of law, therefore we took this upon ourselves to take advantage of the artist's piece of work.

Our influential trailers that we looked at had a big influence on what we wanted to choose for our own piece, I was inspired by how a soundtrack could have such a big effect to intensify what was happening on screen, therefore I took it upon myself to find music which not only suited the theme of our trailer, but maximised the feeling and emotions of what was being shown on screen. An influential trailer of mine which used this asset to its full effect was Inception. It used dramatic and and fast paced music where necessary to pump the audience with a rush of adrenaline something that would attract them to further pursue the film.

Something I also was impressed by in the inception was the trailer was not just the way the music sounded, but also how in parts f the the trailer the music was actually manipulated in post production to further reinforce the filmography. An example of this can be seen in the image above, the character has just been submerged in water and as this is happening the music   Instantly i wanted to try and take this aspect into our trailer and its something which I managed to do. There's a part of the trailer when a bullet whizzes past a characters, resulting in him being disorientated, not only did I slow the pace of the shot down, and discoloured the film, I also faded the music out and gave it an echoing effect. reinforcing the idea to the audience that the character has been put into a poor state of mind. However I soon after rushed the shot further and pumped back the music, at a more ferocious and loud point in the song, as the character recovered, suggesting the anger of the man, and giving the audience a rush of adrenaline.

BROMA Fight Scene Choreographed - Draft 2

Here we have our second version of the fight scene which will be happening in our trailer, the first clip is a slower version showing various moves, and showing the progression that we had throughout. The second clip is a more fast paced fight scene, going through various angles and shots. Enjoy.

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.
