I'm in my first year of film school and I've learned so much about filmmaking, but I think most film schools, even the best ones, lack teaching ways to effectively shoot a marital arts fight sequence. I'm not complaining. I think it's completely understandable, but it just means that I need to look outside the film school to learn these proper techniques.
I'm just curious to know what type of lenses and T/F-Stops tend to be used more often in popular Chinese martial arts movies or what specific Cinematographers/Directors like to use, because it obviously is a personal stylistic choice. If it is possible to get that kind of info, that would be awesome.
