Research post 2

Continuing the research for our sequence, I thought i'd look at some stage combat as we have one shot in our piece that requires our main guy hitting a body on the floor with a hammer. With a specifuc shot and movement like this it was hard to find a useful video that showed us what we needed. Instead, my friend recommended the 'elevator scene' from the movie Drive.  (3.45 - 4.10)

Having watched this clip, i gained some great inspiration for how I wanted the shot to look in our sequence. The man being hit is rarely shown (which would be hard to film, even professionally) and this also makes it easier for us to mainly focus on the action of the hitting instead of the reaction from the victim. 

It is also shot with the actors back to us AND with a sick jacket on which is an ideal shot we would want. Not seeing the killers face was also useful in this shot as we want to avoid his identity being shown. This scene is shot in an elevator so I took into account that we would have more space and we can be more experimental with or angles.

Doing some further research, I began looking at some clubs we wanted to replicate as well as any cool jackets or accessories we can give our protagonist.The idea is that it's something people (specifically men) will look at and want. Here is what I came up with:
