- I feel the use of montage editing is effective during this scene as it cuts to the different types of training that she takes part in order to improve her skills. We could also utilize this technique in our opening scene.
- Furthermore the props in this training scene are similar to the props at our local gym for instance the speed ball and the ring.
- There are two recognisable protagonists throughout the clip, the woman boxer and here trainer, we could also adopt a similar technique of training on the pads.
- The shot of the female boxer on the speed bag has provided some inspiration for a shot we could use during our opening scene. Instead of having a medium close up we could use POV showing the hands coming out striking either the speed bag or an ordinary heavy bag. I feel this could be a very unusual but interesting shot.
- If we wish to use montage editing the setting is obviously very important, in this clip they use an old run down gym exposing boxing to be a working class sport furthermore they also show her running a vital part of being s successful boxer. We could use a similar technique with a local boxing gym.
- The colour wash in Million Dollar baby seems to be very dull and dark, however we are looking to shoot in black and white to try and create a more authentic feel as seen in Raging Bull
Youtube did not allow me to embed this clip, and again it is not the opening scene. However i feel we could do something similar for instance training and seeing a gradual progression. We could also use similar props at the boxing gym.
ReplyDeleteYe I like the montage editing in this clip, and feel we could use this type of thing in our opening, as I feel it works well to create a different time phase, which for our idea could really work.
