Part 2/11:
Imagine two immensely powerful beings engaged in a fierce battle high above populated cities. The question for filmmakers is: How do you render this sequence compelling? Simply put, how do you maintain audience engagement when the combat takes place in the sky, where the physics and impact aren’t as straightforward as on the ground?
Shazam presents this challenge vividly. The film features characters capable of flight, leading to sequences where heroes and villains clash mid-air. While visually impressive, these scenes often struggle with conveying the same sense of danger, momentum, and stakes as ground-based fights.
