"A Funny Thing" Shot Analysis

https://youtu.be/ghfqnmL0d_A

Camera Angles and Technique:
  • Close-ups to show the intensity in the scene
  • Pseudolus and Hysterium at the start of the scene on eye to eye, neither are higher than the other. This shows us that they are equal in status  
  • Once the Acrobats come into frame, the shot becomes a long shot to show the action above and the people watching below.
    • this particular scene interesting as the only people who seem entertained by the acrobats are Glorious and Pseudolus 
  • Mostly all of the shots are from a straight-on angle
Costumes:  
  • Pseudolus 
    • Bright colored 
    • More ragged looking 
    • Red-Orangish robes which the color represents aggression, and thirst for action. Which Pseudolus has throughout the whole movie 
  • Glorious 
    • Wears black which represents power, elegance, death, evil, and mystery 
    • Wears a soldier uniform that mimics Roman soldiers
  • Marcus Lycus 
    • Wears different costumes throughout the movie but in this scene wears white which often represents safety. This is somewhat ironic in this scene as he is being thrown off balconies and out of windows.
