Soothsayer Scene:
Costume:
- Exaggeration of ancient dress
- Workers/Slaves are in drab clothes
- Aristocrats and other important figures are in color
- Erronius
- He is an aristocrat
- Pseudolus and Hysterium color because they’re main characters
- Also makes them stand out in a dramatic way
Sets:
- Outside in the streets
- Mocking the slums not shown in ancient movies
- Dirty aspect of rome
- Inside the buildings
- Nice, but obviously fake
- Shows the play/musical aspect of the movie
Camera Angle/Techniques:
- Long shots
- Most important:
- Beginning to see Erronius being carried in
- Dramatic differences between slaves & not
- Women stereotypes
- Close up
- Faces of Pseudolus, Hysterium, and Erronius
- Exaggerated emotions
- Ring
- Mock the significance and importance of rings in ancient movies
- Medium shot
- When Pseudolus and Hysterium are tricking Erronius
- Shows how the man can’t see everything that happening
- A form of dramatic irony in the movie-musical
