Action scenes can be shot in many ways and over time
filmmakers have become more creative in how they show it.
But you don't always need long takes or elaborate camerawork to show off your big set piece.
Take for example this fight in Wilson Yip's 2005 film, SPL.
It's a scene that maximises the actors' performances
by using one of the oldest techniques in the book...
Shot/Reverse Shot.
From the moment the fight starts to when it ends
the scene is filmed like a dramatic conversation between two characters.
While you can argue the decision to do so boils down to its location in a small alley...
there is logic also to using shot/reverse shot for any close-quarter combat scene.
You're able to clearly present the actor and their actions to the audience.
You give the actors enough time to work their magic as performers.
And you're also cutting back to the opposite actor to capture their reaction appropriately.
When you film a conversation, you don't think about cutting on every second word that's uttered
nor are you looking to confuse audiences from all types of different angles.
SAMUEL L. JACKSON: So you shoot master, close, close... closer... over, over, over...
SAMUEL L. JACKSON: Make up your mind what you're going to shoot. See the movie in your head.
The only times this scene uses different angles
are when the camera is positioned over Wu Jing's other shoulder
and when both actors are side-on from the camera.
Shot/reverse shot also helps to give a nice break in between larger moments of action
helping to create further tension and anticipation for what the next move will be.
More and more we're seeing films rely on digital effects
and other filmmaking gimmicks to orchestrate big fights.
But action can still be exhilarating even when it's filmed and edited this simply.
After all, action creates drama so sometimes you're able to film it like one.
