Creed Film Techniques

 

At the start of the scene I chose, it is being filmed from a Medium Long Shot (MLS). You watch as Rocky takes Adonis over to the side to "talk for a minute". In this scene, most of the frame is being sidelit, with most of the light coming in through the back left window, which is the direction they are walking. This transitions them into master coverage of the dialogue taken place when Rocky agrees to be Adonis' trainer. This scene of dialogue is just close ups of the two of them as they have this talk. 








At 39:24 Rocky says "step into my office", as he walks off the left side of the scene. This is a transition into the start of Adonis' training. 39:25 starts the montage of different parts of Adonis' training scenes. 39:25 is the next scene, and the start of the training montage.



The next part of hid training, Adonis is running when a long shot of Rocky is shown as he looks down on him running, even though we cannot see him in the screen anymore. Then at 39:35 we see Rocky's point of view looking down on Adonis, with a bird's eye view.





As we see more of Adonis' training we see that he works out late at night, without Rocky. At 40:01 Adonis is jump roping and doing push ups in his room, with the only light barely coming in from the darkness through the window. At 40:25 an alarm from within the movie world goes off that stops the song that was for us. The song is an example of a non-diagetic sound and the alarm is an example of a diagetic sound. Then when Rocky tells Adonis that doesn't mean he's done the song starts up again for the last scene of the training.

    Martha, I loved your analysis on the movie Creed! I have never seen it before, but you gave a very detailed description of the scene and visuals which i really appreciated. I think that this analysis would be even better if you elaborated on some of the techniques you picked up on and why the directors/filmmakers decided to use those techniques. For example, analyzing why the director decided for there to be a montage of training scenes, or why the filmmakers chose the angles and lighting that they chose? Otherwise, it was a really good analysis!

    Hi Martha. I think the long shot scene when Rocky is looking over Adonis when he is running is a great example. I think you did a really good job on analzying how the camera is when the training scenes come up, and how is goes from close too long to give an intense working out feel. Something I say you can add to is explain on how that the music bringing stopped and played again within the training scene can bring a uplifting mood to the scene.
