When you forget your ID badge

We used a variety of shot types because there are a huge amount of shot types in the action movie genre - which we were trying to replicate. This is why in filming we included the ceiling shot, wide shot and the countless other shots in the fight scene.

We opened with a panning shot to introduce the collage as the setting and then continued with an over the shoulder shot to make Thomas look bigger than Curtis. I then used the mid shot of Curtis to make him look dominant and minimise the silly running scene. After this we used the shot of Curtis doing his karate kick and mixed it with a difference scene to make it look as though it had connected with Thomas.

Throughout the resulting fight scene Kiri made sure to jerk the camera whenever there was a punch to make it look more violent.

I didn't show it in this clip but we also had shots from above (the ceiling shot) and long shots near the door. In retrospect i should have taken the time to use these shots and create a better film.

This is why most of the shots were mid shots - they were easiest to do when in the middle of a fight scene. On the other hand i did include a low angle shot and a high angle shot so this might compensate.
