The Fighter Who knew a movie that is originally two hours long could last anywhere from four to five hours long? Knowing that chapter 6 was all about cinematography distinguished that I definitely needed to watch the movie for a second time. There was no way I was going to be able to recall camera angles, shots, lighting, etc., by only viewing the film once. It is amazing how much you do notice in the movement of the camera when you decide to focus on other parts of a movie besides the storyline and the incredible actors and actresses that are in the flick. Besides the movement in the camera, there are a couple parts of the movie that stuck out to me regarding lighting. There were two affected parts in this flick that were truly amplified due to the use of lighting. Two of the instants that I can recollect are with Dicky while he was in prison. In these instants, there are two distinct light sources. One is the use of low key lighting. The low key lighting is used when Dicky is going through withdrawals with his addiction to crack in his prison cell. The flicker of the low key lighting intensified how fidgety Dicky was on his bed while his was having flashbacks of his family. The second use of lighting that stuck out to me was basically no use of lighting at all. This is when Dicky walks through the prison with virtually no light on him. The only source of light is coming from a hallway perpendicular of him. So, while watching this scene, all you really see is the outline of Dicky’s body. Watching this scene, the viewer can sense Dicky reflecting on how he was living his life before he came to prison. I happened to like this part because the viewer does not need to see his face to see what his emotions are, the viewer can feel his emotions. The viewer can also somewhat predict that Dicky is going to change his ways for the better, not only for himself, but for his son, Alice, Micky, and the rest of Dicky’s family. A few miscellaneous parts that stuck out to me were the use of slow motion, zooming in on dramatic parts, and the use of a circular track for the camera. Slow motion plays a key part in Micky’s streak of winning in the boxing ring. They use slow motion and close up shots at the same time to show the impact of getting punched and punching back in the face. At first, the television that plays Dicky’s movie only takes part of the frame. As the movie because more of a

Fighter Personal Narrative

Fighter I started boxing in November of 2016. Since then I have won nine times by knockout, thirteen by technical knockout, two by split decision and suffered only one loss (by split decision).
