Research for fight scene

Before I start planning and choreography my fight scene I did a research to achieve my objectives.
and I find that fight scene totally depend on the genre and the period of the film. Then I looked at some of the different genre.
The common things that I find in all this fight scenes are.

1. lots of punch scene. While maintaing the 180 degree rule.
2. over the shoulder shot.
3. two shot, POV to the camera
4. mid shot and cu of the impact.
5. over cranking and under cranking.
6. slow mo, specially to show the impact of the punch.
7. Shutter angle near about 40 for the smooth flow
8. effect of the sound and the music to match the rhythm of the scene.
9. In some fight scene they take some frames out for the effect.
10. jump cuts.
 11. location also played a important role for the setting up of the scene.
12. look very well choreography.
13. hand held is used more frequently until and unless there are special effect. If there are special effect. The the camera movements are more steady.
14. big movement and big gestures. Big swigs of punches instead of small swings.
