Above the forehead
Under it, then back
22Coach's point-of-view handheld shot in a crowded boxing gym, a Puerto Rican boxer in a white tank top slips the coach's slow mitt swing and counters into the other mitt, cinematic, real time. 0–2s: he bounces in his guard, eyes on the lens, the coach's mitts visible at the frame edges. 2–4s: the left mitt swings across the frame at his head; he bends at the knees and dips under it to the outside. 4–6s: he rises and fires one right cross into the right mitt just in front of the lens, the camera jolting. 6–8s: he resets his guard and nods, light on his feet. Throughout: the boxer visible from head to waist, hanging bags and ring lights blurred behind, warm tungsten light, sweat glistening.
Write the incoming attack as slow and the coach's mitt as the attacker. It keeps the defense readable and non-violent.
