Suggestions For
Choreographers

A great combat on the screen depends
more upon rhyme, music and dance
than upon the combat itself. You are
not fighting but you create the illu-
sion of fighting through body expres-
sion and emotions. To create a great
fight on the screen, some of the most
important tips are to understand the
effects and function of the camera,
the corporal movement, the emotions
of the character, and of course the ba-
sic abilities of the combat or martial
art. It is basically a dance of deadly
combat.
