A Funny Thing Analysis

A funny thing happened on the way to the forum scene analysis: 

• Scene begins with a close up of the two slaves 
• A close up of the sand timer is also seen 
• This shows the importance of the timer to the scene
• They use a medium shot when they are shooting the acrobats 
• When the acrobats are spinning it is close up on them but you can also see the slaves and the captain in the background
• The end of the scene is a close up with the captain and the slave
