Video Game Critique
This is a trailer for the video game Shadow of the Colossus. The entire point of this game is to find and kill Colossi spread throughout the land. There is nothing the the land except you, your horse, and these colossi. The land appears to have not had human interaction for a very long time, the only buildings are in ruins, and nature has taken over completely.
The thing is that these colossi are gigantic creatures hundreds of feet high, and you are much, much smaller than them. The director of this trailer actually gives a good sense of the size of these creatures through the use of movement. The main character moves at a normal normal speed, but these colossi, being so much bigger, cover an even greater distance, when seeming to move at a much slower pace. This lumbering speed also gives the colossi a great sense of weight, The screen shaking when a colossi moves only accentuates this.
