Im plodding along here on my upcoming short and Im looking to include a violent scene where a person is being beaten. I have never shot action before. The scene Im planning will have rapid jump cuts so it will not be that critical to sell the action. Im also wanting to play with shooting some shadows in the action and show reactions from the feet and midsection etc.
Im figuring on using a longer lens to try and distort the perspective some to help in selling some of the impact shots. Im also going to have a small amount of blood and sleight bruises as well. I will do some test footage on location and see what I can do. Im also planning on speeding up the shutter and try for a jittery effect as well and see if that works.
Any input or help from experienced hands would be appreciated. If anyone knows of any instructional videos or online resources that would be mucho appreciated
