#fight sequence

One aspect I love about this show is how class the male uniforms are.

And when they move..... (🤌)

Anyways, nice segment key animated by Hakuyu Go! Nice swag.

Ive always been a huge Anime fan and an admirer of the way they create the stories. The depth of the stories as well as the elements used in their directions has always marveled me.

Most Animes have some conflict that goes on in an emotional level even during fight sequences and Demon slayer and Naruto are great examples of it. The Music does elaborate on the feeling aspect during the fight.

Demon Slayer Fight Sequence

However there is one fight in the Anime Naruto Shippuden which is an absolute master piece. This is the most important fight of the entire serious of almost a thousand episodes and to my surprise they did not use any background music in it. All we can hear is their dialogues and their blows to each other plus the magic techniques.

Naruto vs Sasuke Final battle

On Analysis I have realized that using Silence was not an effort to cut workload but to keep people focus on the fight and only the storyline. To me, this was a new lesson and one which I will be willing to use in my practice if the scenes demand it! References:

I'm especially thinking of the way the fireworks threw the fighters into solarised, jump-frame silhouettes.

Fighting scenes are quite difficult to write and if not written properly then it can take the reader's interest off the whole scene. So, here are some tips to write better fighting scenes.

The fight scene should move he movie forward. Make sure that you don't write a fighting scene just to show off the cool moves or writing style.

The said fight should reflect your character personality. Write a fight sequence that showcases your character's choices and their personality.

Try to write shorter sentences. It will be easier for the reader to digest as well fasten the pace of your story.

Don't give too long descriptions on a stretch. Try have some dialogue in between descriptions.

When writing a fight scene make sure to focus more on the physical side of things. The emotional reflection should be done after or before a fight not during it.

When writing a fight between two individuals make sure that the fight sequence is short and not multiple pages long.

Longer fighting sequences are only for when it is a war or a battle.

While fighting, all senses need to be on high alert so while writing the scene, hit your character with all the five main senses.

When writing gets the scene make sure to focus on the character's perspective rather than telling everything's that happening from the sidelines.

Focus on writing in active voice. Making it passive would not have as much of an impact.

Try using sensory information and make it more relatable. Like a shirt tearing, or a feel of blood running down their skin is experienced by almost everyone but a large gash on the arm/leg is less likely to be experienced by most people.

Make sure you make the context and intentions of a character before the fight or it will just feel useless. So, try to explain the fact before the scene is happening.

The result of the fight should be clear. Even if you decide skip over half of it, make sure you make the it's result clear.

After A Fight

Here are a few pointers that show the impact of the injuries your character has suffered.

The eyes will water a lot if the character is getting punched in the face. Even if it doesn't hurt, the eyes will water.

Try to use more of the simple movements. Avoid using fancy, flashy moves as they are quite predictable and easy to counter.

The back of the head, where the brain is connected to the spinal cord, is extremely sensitive. And it can cause serious damage if injured there.

Getting hit in the stomach is bad and worse is getting hit near the diaphragm. It will cause your lungs to spasm and harder to breath. Diaphragm is a tissue that separates the alimentary system from the respiratory system. It is between the ribcage and stomach.

If you're punched in the head, your body will follow wherever the head goes.

Get closer to a person who depends mostly on kicks. It will give them less are to land a kick and then they will have to depend on other techniques.

Smaller people are extremely light and they can be more quick on their feet.

Birds of Prey is an American superhero film based on DC comics. It released this year as the eighth installment of the DC Extended Universe and the follow-up of the Suicide Squad movie. This movie focuses on Harley Quinn rather than Joker as she joins forces with Helena Bertinelli, Dinah Lance, and Renee Montoya to save Cassandra from Gotham City’s crime lord Black Mask.

The story of the movie focuses on Harley Quinn after Joker breaks up with her and throws her out on the Gotham City streets. An owner of the Taiwanese restaurant chops her hair and tries to help her get over her relationship by adopting a spotted hyena. Harley Quinn eventually meets the rest of the characters after she is intoxicated and gets saved by Dinah Lance from an attempted abduction. The following night, Harley blows up Ace Chemicals Plant to publicly announce her breakup with Joker. Shortly after this incident, Renee Montoya, The GCPD detective finds out that Harley is in danger without Joker’s protection and she approaches Dinah but gets rejected by her. The movie unravels in a way where all the female characters are fighting the villain nicknamed as Black Mask and his small army of masked criminals collectively known as False Face Society. They were successful in destroying the Sionis’s criminal empire, and every character then moves on to their own lives. Montoya quits the GCPD and joins Dinah and Helena to establish a new team of vigilance called Birds Of Prey. Harley and Cassandra make their way to a new life, after selling the diamond to a Pawn Shop, they begin their journey of contract killing business.

However, this movie turned out to be a disappointment at the box office, but some of the fans seemed to have positive reviews about the film only because of the fighting scenes. With the team consisting of Cassandra Cain, Black Canary, Renee Montoya, The Huntress, and Harley Quinn, the Birds Of Prey was bound to have some fantastic fighting sequences. One of the best fighting scenes was when Harley Quinn collects a stolen diamond from Black Mask. Harley breaks into the GCPD to rescue Cassandra Cain, who has swallowed the diamonds.

Fans can now enjoy one of the fighting scenes in slow motion. Sam Hargrave, an American stuntman, has recently shared a video of this fighting scene with Margot Robbie on his Instagram handle, where he had to flip in the air and land on Robbie’s neck. In the final cut, Harley bounces the bat off the ground before it hits Hargrave on the face. If you look at the slow-motion carefully, you will notice the effects of this sequence. He is not using any wires to perform the stunt, and he landed on his neck, which could cause serious injuries. Watching the fight sequence might not bring any appreciation for the movie, but it will remind people that Hollywood is capable of creating some great fight sequences.

Although the movie ended mid-sentence, there is no surety of the fans will get to see Birds Of Prey 2 and Gotham City Sirens as it movie didn’t do too well for the producers.
