  Mostly none diegetic sound is being used, which fosters suspense since as soon as the scene begins you can tell something is going to happen purely due to the none diegetic music. The none diegetic music that I have mentioned is contrapuntal to this scene since it is an almost elegant like classical orchestral piece of music which doesn't fit with the violent gory nature of the scene, which could have a comedic effect but also highlight the insanity of the character. A none diegetic dialogue voiceover is used while the music is playing, as the scene plays out. No sound bridges or parallel music is used with the scene

 For this practical I used 30 seconds of "happy" images with upbeat chilled music, then swapped to 30 seconds of warfare death and starvation with the same music

What I did well was create good angles, implement soundtrack and cut the clips well with editing 4) Now reflect on your own work in more detail.

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 . Originall...
