this is the first test filming from the trench, a chance to work out camera positions and see how it all looks on screen, the next stage is to add some effects to it.
The film is set at the end of a long period with no fighting, the regiment had won a lot of ground but this has left them stranded a long way forward of the rest of the line. They have been stuck in one place for months as the battle to catch them up continues. Undermanned and out on a limb they cannot mount an attack without support and have to wait until the line on either side is pushed forward to level with them…
