Rocky 4 question

The camera shots consists of mostly close ups, mid shots, full shots and wide shots that where mainly focused on Rocky and Drago as they are the two that only matter as they are the ones who are in the fight to fitness in this section of the film. The close ups are used mostly to show what part of the body they are working out on. Theses shots are used mostly to show the stress of their muscles to show that they are being worked on, Extreme close ups are used as well especial to show the facial expressions of the two of them lifting something heavy you would know that it was heavy by the way their faces are tightened up and restrained this is shown well when Drago is a 1, 2 press with a dumbbell bar. The angles that were used was mostly low and high angles but there was an eye level shot that was very cleaver as when Drago is punching to the right of the shot its edited by a cross cut to show rocky chopping down a tree by swinging to the left of the shot this shows that they are fighting each other even though they are not even is the same room. The movement that is mostly used is a tracking shot to show both of them running to show the speed of them running towards their own personal goals.

The composition of the working out section is easy to understand as they are only working out and there is no need for any of it to be in order as there isn’t any particular way to work out, the way they used the composition was clever as would use a cross cut to edit from scene to scene to show the same thing but done in different ways for example: Drago is running on a running machine and the angle is increased make him work more, like he is running up a mountain, they then used a cross cut to Rocky running up a mountain to show the comparison between the two of them basically montage editing, this shows Drago as a machine then a human being by using machinery to calibrate him, compared to Rocky he is using nature to his advantage. Slow motion is used o show the powerful running that the two of them do.

All of the sound is diegetic accept from the music which is non-diegetic. The diegetic sound that is heard mostly by the audience would be the moaning and groaning of the two men being pushed hard working there musicals to their limits. When the non-diegetic sound kicked it made the scenes more powerful as the music complements what is on the screen.
