Creed

In Creed, the employment of handheld cameras which the action scenes a sense of intimacy, and is what distinguishes the cinematography of the movie. The audience is frequently placed right in the thick of the action as the camera follows the fighters around the ring, producing a thrilling and genuine tactile experience. The movie's lighting and color grading are also important, with a focus on warm, golden hues that bring back memories of vintage boxing movies, like in Rocky, the series Creed was inspired by. The use of contrast and shadows highlights the physicality of the boxing contests while also evoking a sense of drama and suspense.
