This amazing brutal fight scene is from the movie "The Kingsman" which shows the donor brutally defeating the villains in the typical British pub. In the beginning, where it was calm and peace, the editing was much slower which goes with the peaceful harmony. But however, when the fight occurred, the increase of pace in the editing was a real huge difference to how it was before the fight. The editing that was extremely paradoxical to before the fight and during the fight immediately signifies the change of atmosphere and mood within the scene. The fast paced editing during the fight signifies how dangerous the character is. Moreover, with the fast paced editing, it also immediately creates tension within the audience making them feel full of anxiety. The fast paced editing almost makes the whole scene look better as it has a huge synergy with the fight in the scene. Within the fight scene, there were a huge amount of straight cuts used and straight cuts are the most common editing and these cuts are rarely recognized by the audience. These straight cuts is what makes the editing fast and makes the fight scene look significantly amazing. It certainly does make the fight more dramatic. As stated previously, the fast paced editing has a synergy with the actions within the fight scene as the character is brutally beating up the other villains so quickly. Additionally, we also see a rare slow paced editing during the fight when the donor fires the gripper at the villain, as it was fired, we see a slow motion, close up shot of the gripper making it look more amazing and distinctive. In addition, in the beginning of the scene, between the donor and the potential protagonist, while their conversation was running, there were many over the shoulder shots from both characters making it consistent. Additionally, before the start of the fight, there is a close up shot of the kingsman character shutting the door. The fact that the camera framing changed to a close up suggests how dangerous he is and how brutal it is going to be for the opponents. It also shows that there is no way out for the opponents. Moreover, 2:40, it was almost like it was a point of view shot from one of the members in the gang which makes it seem more realistic. Also, while they were walking up to the Kingsmen character, the character is faced away from the camera and the attackers which signifies something mysterious and danger prior to the fight. After, as he turns around, there is a medium shot of him talking and this shot helps us to clearly see his facial expression and he is certainly calm prior to the fight. As soon as the fight ended, the fast editing deteriorated back into slow pace editing.
Moreover, the sound during the fight within the scene was a very dramatic and fast paced background music. This fast paced music sounded similar to a victorious sound signifying how the character has already won the fight before even winning it. Also, the sound makes the fight more enthusiastic and dramatic. Additionally, its also sort of a tension build up sound towards the end when he blocks the bullets with his umbrella. The sound then was a anxiety build up sound that probably made the audience nervous about the ending.
Within the movie scene, I acknowledged that the lighting was very high key and this is a little abnormal to see a high key lighting during a fight scene. Perhaps, the high key lighting is created to make it more of a realistic fight between the man and the gang.
Moreover, moving onto the mise-en-scene. The character's neat suit makes him look professional and neat but in a fighting sense, it makes him look really intelligent and really dangerous almost similar to the mafias. The director's thinking of the costume is that he wants the character to probably look like a hitman that is really dangerous and is a good person.
