Analysis of two film extracts from two different eras (20 years min)

This is an still extract from the highly-rated boxing film Rocky and this particular extract is the 1st of the sequel. The lighting used here is mainly high-key particular on the characters which can be done to show their facial expressions and their body language, also the rest of the mise-en-scene is low-key lighting which makes them the main figure and very dominant. Their is alot of fast cuts and edits this is done to build tension and create an up-tempo flow to the fight to make it look realistic. Also the fast tempo cuts makes the audience feel more interested as they dont know what it going to happen next so the up-tempo flow to the game is exciting for the audience.



This is an extract form the movie Ali, I have to analyse this film to make it go well with the film Rocky, and to show contrasts and similarities. Similarly to Rokcy their is alot of high-key lighting used particularly when the fighting is going on which can portray hope for the fighters as to see who wins, also similarly to Rocky the rest of the mise-en-scene is low-key which can connote mystery and suspense as to what may happen next and portays the actors fighting as the main dominant figure, as to where all the interest is at.
