UNIT 2 : Part C & D - Choreographing 2 actors in a fight scence using 'The Hidden Angle'

Today I learnt how to film a punch scene from my online course with the Young Film Academy, using the 'Hidden Angle' technique. I filmed this on my phone camera from behind while the two actors fighting stood face to face, so you can't see the gap between them, creating a realistic punch. I choreographed the scene and added a sound effect punch later. This was hard work, but fun and I enjoyed directing the actors. You have to get the angle just right so that the punch looks real and we practiced a few times. I also took turns to be in the actor role throwing the punch myself to better understand the process. Watch my film to see how it turned out.I think this was a good example of me using my leaership skills to communicate what I wanted the actors to do, but I still think I could have spoken up a bit more.
