Southpaw

To do the tracking shot we decided to follow a theme that is somewhat similar to Southpaw. The idea of wrapping hands in boxing tape to get ready for the match is exactly something we want to achieve as the idea is simple and to the point. It is much better than our previous ideas of a boxing fight or the mother abusing the protagonist one. We didn't realize at the time that our previous ideas were way too complicated to do and not as simple as we thought they would be.

The tracking shot we did during Day 3 was taken as more of a test run rather than actual footage we could use due to the low quality of the shot. At least because of that we were able to practice how to properly produce tracking shots.

One shot however, came out extremely well and if we are able to use it I believe it would make a very good ending shot before the title screen appears. It was the shot where we used the chiaroscuro effect. I believe it came out extremely well quality wise and its symbolism parallels to that of our film title 'Black Heaven'.

The chiaroscuro shot

Here are a few example shots from Southpaw we plan to achieve during the day we go for filming. 

This time we will make sure to keep things to a minimum. We won't have too many people, only Eman who plays the main protagonist will be shown getting ready to get into the ring. We will still incorporate the shot's we got of the mother during Day 2 of filming, because we need them for the story telling purposes. However, only the good quality shots will be used, and since they appear in flashback format we will use quick cuts to quickly replace them with the better quality shots we will hopefully obtain during the fourth day of filming.
