Looking further into the topic of boxing I recollected on my favorite piece, Creed II. Drawing inspiration from a movie in the same genre that is visually entertaining and appealing to the eye is definitely a direction I want to follow with my film opening. Here is the trailer. Although it is just a trailer, it can draw some motivation and ideas to our opening.
Some key takeaways
- There are lots of zoom in and outs with pans and tilts.
- Favorite shot was opening shot on street tracks- may want to simulate that on the beach
- There are a lot of contrasts between light and dark colors some being shown simultaneously.
- Conflict is clear and rift between fighters is evident.
- Portrayal and impact of girl in life is strong. I believe Connor has a girlfriend so maybe we can use his.
- Diversity** Black vs Foreign fighter.- Connor is hispanic I am jewish we can play along those lines to break some stereotypes and genre conventions.
- Soundtrack- Slow to upbeat- Since big time rap artists have their music copyrighted, I will use FL Studio to create the music.
- A car scene. Want to have a masculine broad car in a shot to add to the tone. Preferably a dodge challenger, as my friend Christian has, we can add that to the pro/antagonist to develop a sense of power.
- Lastly the type of shots, lots of moving close ups, handheld will probably account for most of ours.
Next class Connor and I will begin storyboarding and plot planning.
