Influential sets and mise-en-scene

Planning for Million Dollar Punch 

We will film 'Million Dollar Punch' in Rudi's Garage as it is dark, similar to where most fighting films are set in. In our research we found the likely place where illegal boxing would take place is a warehouse, the garage is the closet setting we can get to this.

 One idea we have is to spray water onto both Lee and Danny as they are the fighters, this will look like sweat and make the fight seem that bit more realistic.

 Another way we plan to add realism is to have red food colouring on the fighters, this will hopefully look like blood and show the fight to be tough and violent, like a real illegal fight.

The garage will be very dark but we are going to use lamps and adjust them till they only shine light onto the fighters, we think this will give a very good effect.

 When researching into illegal fighting I found a very good source, which is a Video game called 'MMA Supremacy' this focuses entirely around illegal fighting and puts gamers in control of an underground fighter who is trying to achieve fame, very similar to our plot for 'Million Dollar Punch'. These are some images that I have looked at of 'MMA Supremacy'These have given me a better idea of how our setting and fight can look like:

  2. Good mise-en-scene ideas. Don't forget to look into choreographing a fight scene. The Filmriot site will help you but you will find other information on the web.
