Lighting - Raging Bull (1980)

Raging Bull features a fight scene in the boxing ring, where lighting is cleverly used to dramatises and create a fantastic scene in the film. As the boxers hit each other, the film is black and white throughout, however bright lights are used to signify certain moments such as camera flashes. The scene slows down and as Sugar Ray Robinson is standing in front of Jake, the camera goes to quite a low angle with bright lights either side of Robinson; this signifies his power and strength he has over Jake. This also foreshadows the events where Robinson defeats him at the end of the match and is a very clever way of using lighting to represent a powerful moment in cinema.
