Gloves Up cover

Opening sequence "Gloves Up"

Scene fades in with Zee Played by Junuz jogging up the street, the scene is slowed down with music playing in the background " eminem lose yourself " Title's run across the bottom. The next scene is Chris played by "Luke" lifting weights. The scenes keep switching from Junuz training, back to Luke training and this is a repeated pattern.  For 1 minute and 20 seconds. The Next scene will be at the actual gym, the camera focuses on the ring. The 2 fighters both step in, referee played by Titas, will introduce the fighters. The same music will play throughout, while any speech is muted. Towards the end, the referee raises his hand and starts the fade, while the scene fades out into a black Title clip, gloves Up!

Gloves up storyline

Starting with a black background and queuing the music to create affect also queuing the titles to create the tense/dramatic opening scene.

Based in the modern day of 2011 two young contenders go head to head in a title match. A UFC match with for the title... who will win? Will it be points or a knockout? All will be found out!!

Zee ' The Madman' Machete - The Heavyweight champion of the world holding the title for a total of 6 years has been challenged for his record by Chris 'Ground & Pound' Taylor! Zee being 30 years of age accepted the challenging and has currently gone into a months of hardcore UFC training! He plans to win the fight and keep his title for the remaining of his career.

Chris 'Ground & Pound' Taylor - The new man on the scene not loosing a fight yet has been training hard for the last 2 years preparing for an opportunity like this. Known for his dirty fighting Zee 'The Madman' Machete will be teaching him some lessons of UFC cage fighting

Seeing the two men in training tells me that this is gonna be a clash of the titan fight. One man Chris Taylor in 'Lions Gym' Hillfields home to the world champion kick boxer Sunny 'Hitman' Hira has had a rough upbringing but has a strong world class team to back him up and i am sure his belt will be placed on the wall in the gym for every body to see it when he wins.

The Gracie Barra UFC cage fighting academy based in London makes this an all British world class fight possibly drawing thousands/millions of viewers. With Zee being born in the area and watching the academy grow stronger and stronger he became a member at the gym at the age of just 16 and has been since in training and paid off as he hold the title for 6 years. With him having Gracie Barra himself pass down every little bit of skill he knows to Zee he will be using all he can against the young Chris Taylor.

The big day set to be on the 11th November will be an eye raising event, bringing a lot of money and fame to the team that wins. This will improve the clubs appearance.

The moral of the story is Zee wins the fight first time around and keeps his title and then Chris Taylor ends up in intensive care for the better half of a year with knee problems but after surgery and a reconstructed knee he comes out recovers and takes back where he left off. with him being knocked of his feet for nearly 8 months he has to start his career again with fighters he knows he can beat and getting his confidence back.

Gloves Up Opening Scene

Idea 1

Relinquish II

The opening sequence starts of pitch black, in the background you can hear someone walking through the corridor with their heals echoing.Phone starts to ring. the character answers and says "im gunna be late". (Still pitch black) Text starts to appear at the Bottom "Starring (.....) . Then someone says in a foreign accent "get the bag" as he says bag you can hear a bag being zipped up. The scene fades into another scene which has a camera zoomed in at a door then 3 men dressed in black, one holding a bag walk out in slow motion with the text Relinquish II above their heads.

Opening sequences analysis

This is England

The film was made to portray what England was like in 1983. It is about a young kid aged 12 called Shaun, his summer holidays have started and he gets himself involved with the wrong kind of people and it goes on from there, racism, unemployment and the hard life  is shown as they want to get a message across.

Opening Sequence

The sequence starts with a famous puppet, Roland Rat and then the music kicks in, which plays throughout the whole sequence. Then it changes to titles and it keeps switching from titles to something related to England back in 1983 e.g. a TV show. The reason i think they did this is so that viewers have a clear idea of when the film was set and the kind of things they will see. The titles are in a rough text with a black background and i think they want to show the era was rough and peoples lives weren't easy. This is a continuous trend for 3 minutes 20, As then the music fades out and the click fades out to a black screen finally finishing.
