Fight Clip Club #0

Here's your activity I'd like you to accomplish on our Rain Day:

1. Choose an unarmed fight scene from a movie or play that you particularly enjoy watching. It can be any style, as long as no weapons are used. 
2. Find a recording of the scene to embed in your post (if you can't find an embeddable version, a link or still image will do).
3. Create a blog post analyzing this scene. Your post will include the following:
1. what style/genre it is from the two-columned guide found here or here
2. the Three Rules for Actors (physical Objective, Tactics, Obstacles)
3. where does the fight scene land within the overall story arc? Why do the characters resort to violence? Are they justified? Is it a fair fight? Who wins/loses and what does that mean for the character's journey in the rest of the story?
4. if a film scene: are there stunt doubles doing this scene, or parts of it? What are their names? 
5. Lastly, discuss why you chose this particular scene as a good example of unarmed stage combat.
4. Please have your posts up before the weekend is over (by Sunday midnight).
5. Before our next class meets, post at least one thoughtful, one-paragraph comment to another student's Fight Clip Club #0 post.

I will be posting an exemplar of this activity later today. Have fun, and stay dry! ~Jenn
