Stages of the film

Here are some concepts I did to display the various stages of the film. They are not shot composition or character concepts, and don't represent the final look of the film in any way, they're purely to show how the film will progress in a very broad and general way.



First we see some slaves or novice warriors awaiting entrance to the arena, in a corridor leading off of the main fighting floor.


Then we are shown various scenes of gladiators fighting, dead or wounded.


We begin to see that some gladiators are looking towards the centre of the arena.


It turns out their attention is focused on a gladiator about to kill another, and in turn his attention is on another area.


That area turns out to house the emperor, whose impending final decision is being awaited.
