Video Footage Review

Camera One

We must re-shoot the scene at the start when Georgia and the actor who plays Titus are saying their speech and drag of the prisoner, we feel this because as a group less effect was given off by the actors despite the good acting, I feel we need shot reverse shots and low angle shots when Georgia looks down at the prisoners as it will help give of a better effect to the audience and also be more convincing as if they are actual prisoners about to be killed by the Romans.

Another shot that has to be re-shot is when the actors are coming up the hill, this is because on the day we did not have access to the fig rig and because of this t=we could not get the shots we had planned as a group, with the fig rig I want to get a lot more close ups of the army walking up the hill and also have some tracking shots with them walking as it will make them seem as a stronger and larger force if we show them more in unison walking together carrying their weapons.

Another shot that we should re-shoot is when Abby is being dragged down the hill by the two guards, this looked good however I feel that when she is dragged of the actors walked out of the shot too fast and this made it seem less effective, onto of this when they are being taken down the hill I feel that from another angle it would look a lot better than the current ones we have, I feel that instead we could do a pan of her being dragged to the hill and then cutting it to the other camera to see them walking down the hill.

Second Camera

Some shots I think we should add in which we kind of got from the second camera but not to a full extent are more close ups of the people treading through the mud, also I feel that we need some close ups of the prisoners tied up along with more facial reactions of the guards.

I feel when they are the bottom of the hill returning from the war we need to add in a lot more shots from different angles to create a bigger presence and make them look a lot more intimidating, this can be done through using some close ups on the fig rig whilst tracking backwards as they walk, some low angle shots to have the towering over the camera and looking powerful and also some close up of of their feet walking past the camera to make it seem as if a lot of people are walking by.
