In a media lesson last week, Mrs Banks tasked us with finding a clip from a film or TV show and making a short presentation on it in front of the class. I chose to analyse the final fight from Never Back Down (2008). This scene combines aspects of dialogue with high adrenaline action.
Firstly, there is evidence of close up shots of Jake and Ryan ( the two fighters) where Jake is talking about it being "a spectator sport". The close up here emphasizes that there is no other focus on anyone else in the scene accept for the fighters. This is further accentuated by shifts in camera focus as Jake begins to walk away from Ryan. During the fight there is the use of Go pro cameras to provide the audience extra immersion as these cameras give a good POV shot. This paired with: the superb choreography, the special effect used to accent the power behind Ryan's strike to Jake's side and the graphic match at the finishing moments of the fight linking back to Jake's first fighting lesson make for a great fight scene.
As this scene is only available on vimeo, i could only link it rather than including the clip in this post. Apologies for any inconvenience.
