Group: Sport/Thriller Timeline

Ali (Michael Mann, 2001)

• The film Ali is a film created resembling the life of one of the greatest boxers of all time Muhammad Ali, Will Smith plays the main role in the film attracting a large amount of viewers.

• Some of the shots used throughout the clip have given us some great ideas, for instance the POV shot of Ali hitting the speed bad is a very well constructed shot and we believe we can create a similar effect.

• All of these films seem to have similar themes that are conventional to thrillers/sport genre. For instance the urban background and the run down boxing gym are all present, therefore I feel as though are stock location should be in similar environment.
