Further inspiration through videos

As well as looking at trailers relevant to our genre for inspiration, we thought it important to look through YouTube at 'training' videos from films. Seeing as the majority of our trailer looks at training shots, looking at the training videos gave us a good oppurtunity to think up camera angles, mise and scene and look at what works in a scene.


Below are a couple of clips we looked at.

NEVER BACK DOWN

Inspiring mise en scene continued

Unfortunately i cannot post all the images in one post so here are a few more select shots we used as inspiration. Again note the warehouse settings and the costume, you will also see a lot of fighting/training in films done in a 'wife beater' vest as you will see in the previous post too. We found it fitting to dress 'Mickey' in these ways.

Inspiring mise en scene

Below are some images that acted as food for thought for us as a group. We looked at typical images from films relevant to our genre and noted costume and setting - you will see a lot of topless fighters in films which is why we decided to have a lot of our training done with a top off to give it an authentic feel, also, a lot of the filming is done in a run down location e.g. warehouse, back streets, which is where we got the inspiration for using the warehouse.

Inspiration

Here are some links to films and in particular trailers that inspired our decisions when making our trailer! We did a lot of research - looking through trailers under our chosen genre played a big part as it gave us a chance to look at a few things e.g. how much of the story they gave away, mise en scene, clothing, music etc.
