2. The clip opens with a establishing
shot of a man inside a boxing ring. An
establishing shot is used to identify
the place of action but also to
introduce the setting that of a boxing
match and one which is major shown
through the mies-en-scene of the
shot e.g. camera flashes, the crowd
in background and the ShowTime
lights up top which all illustrates that
this is possibly a paramount boxing
event and that the character is a
famous sportsmen. The mies-en-scene
helps connotes an atmosphere
(genre) of action drama and violence.

3. • The main protagonist is easily identifiable as the man in the
ring. However not much can be seen of his facial expression
but it is very clear he is very focused and rhythmic which is
further emphasised by the use of non-diegetic music which
is sad, poetic, romantic, peaceful--nothing at all like the
man he is in reality. yet in the ring, the music fits his “poetic
like motion.” reinforcing his art like repeated timed
movement which sets the narrative of a fight about to
happen heightening the tension before the match begins.
The lighting in this opening scene is dark and misty setting
the scene for a fight by heightening the tension and
creating a mysterious enigmatic ambiance. The mist also is
used to suggest all eyes should be on the man in the ring.

4. Editing
The use of slow motion in the opening
scene entwines with the rhythmic
music to create a hypnotic sense
around the protagonist but at the
same time creating a graceful art like
ambiance. The slow-motion also helps
the audience have a higher focus on
the protagonist. Also black and white
visuals enhance the films overall
effectiveness and gives it a
documentary-like feel, particularly in
the non-boxing scenes.

5. Titles
In the opening sequence the institution of
the film is established straight away, the
company who produced the film ‘MGM’ is a
large film corporation who are famous for
making many high quality films such as, ‘Alex
in Wonderland’ and ‘Licence to Kill'. The
audience now realises that this film will be of
a very high standard as the company have a
very high reputation of success which will be
carried out further in this film as the
institution has produced the film to,
primarily, make money from the film. The
other company “United Artists” is a sub
