Mise-en-scene recreation practical task

Original:  

Recreation: 

Costume: For this recreation I recreated Stallone’s outfit with a simple grey jogger bottoms and a blue grey faded top

Lighting:  I shot these scenes in the morning just like the original while the natural lighting utilised for a more raw viewing expression 

Actors expressions: The actor in this clip used a neutral and grimacing worn out expression to show the physical tenure 

Make-up: None used 

Props: Water bottle thrown instead of an apple to recreate the shot where Rocky catches an apple while running 

Setting: Originally I was meant to shoot in a more fitting setting near a boat and a canal but due to disruptions i filmed in a park therefore I was not able to recreate the scenes where he is running near the river. 

During the clip, a remote setting initially is used to replicate John G. Avildsen's initial shots directed where there is a remote setting, with harsh lowkey lighting. Originally I was meant to shoot in a more fitting setting near a boat and a canal but due to disruptions i filmed in a park therefore, I was not able to recreate the scenes where he is running near the river. I directed the camera man to use a variety of long, wide and close shots in order to replicate the original, while also implementing my own methods of shooting. For example while I was attempting to recreate the shot where I catch the "apple" prop there was a problem with the cameraman and positioning so I just decided to make it a long, wider shot while zooming in with post editing.

Shot list:

Shot one: Camera focussed on shrubbery then runner runs forward, catching "Apple" as he runs
