Blog #3 Analysis of a movie sequence

                   I am analyzing the training montage From the movie Rocky. the first shot shows Rocky moving forward and shot from the the front and it moves 180 and transitions to him running from the back while keeping continuity of the sequence. It then transitions to him continuing to run from a front shot in a street market and the park keeping a constant motion forward. After the running it moves to Rocky doing training in the boxing gym from pushups to punching and then the montage continues to him hitting frozen pork to him at the gym again doing push ups. the montage then transitions to more running this time from his right without breaking continuity.
             
                 Next we have a wide shot of Rocky Running up stairs were we have him turn back around in the opposite direction without breaking continuity as the camera moves 90 degrees and maintaining the 180 rule. Lastly we have Rocky posing in a victory pose with a wide shot and then another 90 degrees turn with a close up shot of his face. The intention of the montage was to show how hard and dedicated Rocky was in reaching his goal. It showed the struggle of the character.
           
              The montage is done in the way where Rocky starts his training with cardio then push up and other exercises that involved the hands then we cut back to rocky finishing his training with cardio and posing victoriously on top of a flight of stairs to signal the completion and readiness of what is to come. There was one shot where eye line matched for a quick conversation before the last running sequence began.
