bjbj Shooting action scenes requires quite a bit of magic to create the most dramatic
and stylized video possible. Now meet Lance. He s a black belt in our IT Department and
regularly eats gunpowder every single day. And this is Joseph, a purple belt in graphic
design and meaner than anybody else on the planet, and today, these two are gonna show
us how to fight. Action films are a genre that centers around
using physical means to tell the story rather than the use of dialog. There are many different
types of subgenres to the category but there are a few general tips that each of these
categories contain. One of the most intriguing aspects of storytelling comes in the form
of the fight scene which contains three basic elements; continuity, camera techniques and
editing. When these elements are all combined the end result is a very intense and very
emotive piece of video making that will take your viewers and kick them right in the face.
Number one, continuity; one of the more important aspects when it comes to shooting any action
sequence is the screen direction. We have to follow the invisible 180 degree line of
what our eyes see, otherwise, we will end up with a scene that doesn t flow correctly
or seems jarring and results in a jump cut. For example, what s wrong with this scene?
The proper way would be to first get a shot over the shoulder of the punch coming down
and then a shot directly into the punch s direction as it careens toward us. Let s take
a look at this clip in its entirety. Number two, camera techniques, there are multiple
different shootings styles and camera techniques that can be used when capturing a fight scene.
When shooting the fight scene frame your subject within a frame. Shoot the challenger through
the crook of the elbow of the champion, then reverse the angle as the challenger throws
a fake punch. This also changes the point of view. One of the most common angles when
shooting a fight would be when the action being shot is facing the camera. By shooting
this way the audience automatically perceives that the direction of the punch is heading
for the victim for which the camera is replacing. The same process and mental connection works
when selling the impact of the punch. Let s take a look at that again; framing, changing
points of view, action facing the camera and action away from the camera. Number three,
editing. There are many different ways to put together a fight scene. Three of the most
common are using quick cuts which is generally kept in line with the beat of a soundtrack,
using slow motion shots which intensifies the action by adding more dramatic elements
to each movement, and editing to create an emotion, rather than having clear cut and
dry shots of the action which, in turn, creates a disorienting experience for the viewer,
making them feel as if they had just witnessed a fight, rather than actually showing them
the fight. s take a look at each of these techniques in greater detail. Number one,
quick cuts. Using multiple shots can help create a fast pace and chaotic struggle. One
of the key elements that creates this chaotic mood is editing these shots to the beat of
the music. If it s a chaotic song we are most likely to accept those same feelings when
watching a scene play out. Number two, slow motion. Slowing down a sequence draws more
attention to the finer details that are generally missed in real time. By doing so we can add
additional meaning to a clip that is normally looked over. This creates a dramatic element
to our sequence. For example in the film, Rocky, the director could have chose to simply
shoot a normal boxing match in a normal way. Instead he brought us into the scene by making
us understand the dramatic impact of each punch which, in turn, made us as viewers more
emotionally connected to the scene. Number three, editing for emotion. Like slow motion,
editing for emotion centers around bringing the overall mood to the viewer by showing
them just enough to understand a specific emotion that an editor or director is trying
to convey. For example, in this sequence from the 2008 Frank Miller movie, The Spirit, the
idea is to edit to convey a certain emotion rather than simply shooting someone attack
someone else. This is commonplace for keeping a dark character looking menacing or to explain
the passage of time. Shooting action sequences can be an art in and of itself which we ll
master to add elements of style, drama and emotion to your project. [End of Audio] Shooting
