Nicholas Fite - Hajime no Ippo: The Fighting!
1.
Shot Size: Medium close-up
Reason: Can't see anything below the chest. This shot shows how intimidating Ippo's bullies are, by shooting this closely they look even bigger. They fill the screen, showing the physical difference between them.
Framing: Triple Shot
Reason: Shows 3 people. Emphasizes that Ippo is out numbered. The 2 people behind the one ahead are largely unimportant beyond that, and have no real defined personality. By placing them behind the one in green, it shows that he's the leader and more important.
Angle: Low
Reason: We can see the underside of their noses. Shows how Ippo views them. They stand over him and look down on him physically, but socially as well due to his occupation and size.
2.
Shot Size: Full
Reason: We can see Ippo's full body. Ippo is finding out that he is a powerful puncher, and would be a good boxer. By making it a full shot we can see how he put's his entire body into the punch, making it more powerful. It also allows us to see what this does to the bag, and how it goes flying.
Framing: Single Shot
Reason: Only Show's Ippo. Shows how he is individually powerful.
Angle: Low
Reason: We can see the underside of his legs and shoes. Makes him seem larger then life. It further emphasizes how powerful he is.
3.
Shot Size: Wide
Reason: We can see a wide landscape of where he is training. Ippo is tasked with something seemingly impossible. By having a wide shot, we can see how he is training by himself and how time has passed since he was given the assignment. It also makes Ippo feel small, as he hasn't reached his goal yet.
Framing: Crowd Shot
Reason: Ippo is main focus, but all characters are largely unrecognizable. By showing people riding past him as he trains, we can see how he is singularly focused on his task, and not distracted by what most students are. It further shows how he is training alone.
Angle: High
Reason: We can see the tops of their heads. Helps in making Ippo feel small.
4.
Shot Size: Full
Reason: We can see the characters from their heads to their shoes. Ippo is taking his first devastating punch, and loosing the match. By making it a full we can see the difference between both of their body language. Just by looking at their feet, we can see that Miyata (left) is confident and Ippo is inexperienced.
Framing: Double
Reason: Shows the 2 in full contact.
Angle: Low
Reason: We cam see the underside of their legs and arms. Helps with the idea of Ippo falling to the floor.
5.
Shot Size: Close Up
Reason: We can't see below his shoulders. This is the first time his coach is feeling his punch. By using a close up we can see he's pleasently surprised by how powerful his punch is.
Framing: Single
Reason: We only see the coach. The most import thing in this shot is the coach looking at his mitt, so he's all that needs to be shown.
Angle: Low
Reason: We can see the underside of the coach's nose. Allows for a better angle to see both the face and the mitt.
6.
Shot Size: Medium
Reason: We can't see below the stomach. Allows us to see the coach's and Ippo's Body Language. We can see that the coach is confident and comfortable, while Ippo is still nervous. It also allows us to see what they are doing with their hands.
Framing: Double
Reason: We can only see these 2 in the shot. The shot is about these 2, so they both need to be there. Adding other characters would get in the way.
Angle: Low
Reason: We can see the underside of the character's nose. Allows for more expressive features to be shown, and you get the real sense that the coach is coming from under Ippo.
7.
Shot Size: Medium Full Shot
Reason: We see most of the character, but not their shoes. Ippo is seeing his rivals father (a former pro boxer) for the first time and then gets called to do more training. We can see the movement and placement of all the characters in the scene. Oddly, it cuts it off at the ankles which usually doesn't work too well.
Framing: Dirty Triple
Reason: The coaches glove covers part of the 3 characters we're concerned about. Gives an idea of what Ippo is about to do.
Angle: Low
Reason: Gives a sense of the geometry of the room.
8.
Shot Size: Full Shot
Reason: We can see Ippo and the judge of the fight from their head to their toes. Ippo just won a match against the person he originally lost against in a less then glorious manner. Showing his full body lets us see the confusion and confliction he has about the fight.
Framing: Dirty Double.
Reason: We can see Ippo and the judge but he's blocked by Miyata who's on the ground from loosing. By framing it like this, we can see that Ippo won and that Miyata was knocked down for one of the first time in the show.
Angle: Low
Reason: We can see the undersides of Ippo and the judge's nose. It's shot like this to give an idea of what Miyata sees, and shows us how Ippo has gotten stronger from when we first met him.
9.
Shot Size: Medium Full Shot
Reason: We can't see past the knees of Ippo. It let's us see the see how confident Ippo is now.
Framing: Dirty Single
Reason: Ippo is covered by a guy he sent flying. He's trying to become a certified boxer, and is finding his fight easy. By framing it like this, we can both see a confident Ippo, and a display of his strength.
Angle: Low
Reason: We can see the underside of Ippo's nose. Makes Ippo seem bigger.
10.
Shot Size: Wide
Reason: We have a pulled back view of the environment. Ippo just won his debut match. It let's us see him small, implying that Ippo is still the small kid we knew at the beginning.
Framing: Crowd
Reason: We see a crowd of people. It shows that Ippo has won the admiration of the people.
Angle: High
Reason: we can see the tops of people head. Helps with making Ippo seem smaller.
