The scene I decided to analyze was from the movie Rocky 3. In this scene, Rocky is a heavyweight champion and has his first fight with Clubber Lang, who beats him by knockout. Rocky is distracted because his trainer had just had a heart attack in the locker room. The use of the camera in this scene is important with the use of POV shots to place the audience in Rocky's position as he is being brutalized by Clubber Lang. This culminates in the slow-motion editing and the uproar of Lang as his last punch blasted Rocky and the use of sound effects to make the punch sound like loudening, such as artillery fire or a car crash. Throughout the scene, the filmmakers edited the scene to cut to Rocky's locker room where his trainer lay dying. The combination of these techniques makes Rocky's defeat more dramatic as the audience feels closer to the hero, Rocky.
