LF:Snatch fight scene

Director: Guy Ritchie

Genre: Crime, Thriller

• Again this clip is not an opening scene however I believe that if we want to include a fight scene within our copening scene there are certain effects that we could take from this fight scene that would be very useful.

• The use of sound throughout this clip in my opinion is first class. The non digetic sound creates a fast paced atmosphere and involves the audience. Furthermore when one of the boxers gets knocked to the floor the music then stops adding suspense and tension, in addition as the fight progresses and the punches become more painful non digetic sound is utilized once again as the punches almost sound like bullets when they land. They have also created a great unlicensed atmosphere with the crowd, the stock characters act almost thuggish outside the ring creating an authentic feel.

• In this fighting scene there is also a great example of a POV shot in which we could create a similar effect of positioning the audience with one of the boxers.

• Furthermore again the setting is a dull dusk underground venue adding to the crime aspect of the clip. We could hopefully achieve something similar either shooting in black and white or colour washing it in a mild yellow, green/grey.
