Shot sizes
1. Extreme close up ( 30 seconds in)
- Frames the character facial features
- Highlights their emotions
- Sign to audience someone or something important in the scene
2. Full shot ( 48 minutes 55 seconds)
- Allows audience to see emotion but through body language
- Shows characters actions
- Show clothes as well
3. Medium close up ( 1 hour, 11 minutes and 54 seconds)
- Shows character’s emotion and facial expressions with some background in the shot
- Captures the actors performance
Shot types
1. Two shot ( 1 hour, 9 minutes and 47 seconds )
- Shows emotion and reaction between both subjects
- However far apart the character’s are could suggest how their relationship is.
2. Over the shoulder shot ( 1 hour, 22 minutes and 42 seconds )
- Tracks the reactions in the conversation

What would I do differently?
• Make it shorter as it is a long film but people get
bored and confused if they are sat there for too long
trying to figure out what is going on.
• It has some disturbing moments in it so either take
them out or make them not so disturbing.
What scene stood out for film acting and film
production?
• 1 hour and 3 minutes
• The scene where four prisoners take revenge on Titus so they
rape Titus’s daughter.
The way they quickly change the camera to a different person
so quickly and smoothly stood out to me.
The rolling in mud scene stood out to me.
Which part of the story was the most
powerful?
• Protagonist (Titus) transformed into a vengeful
breast. He kills his wife and then Saturnian's kills
him.
• I think it’s the most powerful scene as lots of
people get murder by Titus as he’s trying to
show who’s boss but then in the end he get’s
killed.
What you learned about filming acting?
• You can have as many people in a shot as you
want
• Using lots of shot types and shot sizes in the
same environment gives a lot of detail to the
audience about how the character is feelings and
what is going on.
What you want to try in your work?
• Starting with a extreme close up
• Using lots of people in one shot
• Using a freeze frame in a scene
