Long Take Inspiration #1 Exodus

It is one of the best long takes that I have ever seen in my life, and it inspired me to do a remake of this scene in this project. This scene is the opening of the Hong Kong film Exodus in 2007, there are the cops with weird swimsuits and diving gears torturing a man who maybe innocent. This 3 minutes long take develops an atmosphere that is scary and constructs this film film into the genre of film noir.

What I did in my video is to investigate the relationship between long takes and fight scenes, how could be fight/action scenes looking more powerful in long takes rather than editing the footages like Hollywood style jump cuts. And I think it is good to start with remaking this scene because there are not many fighting moves and it’s easier to handle.
