Sponsership

Sponsorship for gloves up
This sponsorship bored was made in Photoshop, i made this out of series of images and added the font and tried to give it a professional look as possible. We are then going to use this on a projector behind us so it looks again professional how we would find it in a sports interview or press conference layout.

opening scene for gloves up

Scene fades in with Zee Played by Junuz jogging up the street, the scene is slowed down with music playing in the background "Eminem lose yourself" Title's run across the bottom. The next scene is Chris played by "Luke" lifting weights. The scenes keep switching from Junuz training, back to Luke training and this is a repeated pattern.  For 1 minute and 20 seconds. The Next scene will be at the actual gym, the camera focuses on the ring. The 2 fighters both step in, referee played by Titas, will introduce the fighters. The same music will play throughout, while any speech is muted. Towards the end, the referee raises his hand and starts the fade, while the scene fades out into a black Title clip, gloves Up!

This is a mood board for the topic we are dong. The topic is UFC cage fighting, so as you can see we have the fighters, the ring, the title, the referee and the ring girl.

Analysis :
A very good short clip with a good narrative. A lot of enigma in the first opening minute but all is reveled at the end of the clip. 
The story starts off with a man in a suite walking down a alleyway. Gloomy colors in the scene allot of brown shades which match the characters suit.

The story then continues into a dark room with alot of black in the scene. The character's in the room are also wearing  mostly black, which sets the scene of a dark mood. The narrative so far looks like a man trying to join a mafia or some bad organization.  It then goes on where the scene changes into all bright colors in a garden with a lot of flowers. This then leaves us curious as to whats happening. 
as the scene goes on it shows a kind of horror scene where it mostly red as a sign of blood or killing happening but we are not sure as the camera will not allow us to see. The scene then goes onto a lot of talking into what has just happened.  The quote that makes us certain a killing has happened is  ' she almost looks alive '. 
This however isn't the case as a the camera shows a book on the floor with a flower print.
A lot of bright colors are in the scene and a catchy theme song plays.

This is a well thought narrative all in side the 2 mins.

Conventions of sport genre

Cam angles used :
Low angles , mid shots , long shots , close up , mid close ups , panning , p.o.v


Colours used : In a boxing film , the often colours used are normally from light to dark. so if it was outside it will be lots of light colours , but inside in the ring the colours will be mostly dark and only a bit of colour from what they maybe wearing. alternatives have been used as they switch to black and white for a knock out.


Props :
A lot of props will be used to make the film more realistic. some of the props that are used i fighting sports films are ; boxing rings or arena , crowds , ref , boxing gloves and rest of the outfit . to make the film more realistic the film would have sponsorships as they do in real life to give that sense of authenticity.


Edits :
Lots of fast cut edits , slow motion to show a knock out also from different angles as a continued shot and edits when a fight was to make a entrance.

Dress Codes : The dress code through the film will go from sport to maybe to casual to sport to a business attire depending on the narrative of the story line. some examples could be :
