可洛登战役 (1964)
Culloden
Culloden一片记录的是发生于1746年的著名的科洛登之战，支持詹姆斯二世的苏格兰高地人和英格兰政府军的一场激战。詹姆斯党自此战后一蹶不振，苏格兰氏族制也随着英国新教政府势力的巩固而消亡。作为一场200多年前战争的纪录片，Peter Watkins采用了新闻纪录片的拍法，一个新闻摄制组穿梭于战场间，甚至对军官和士兵进行采访。革命性的拍摄方法也宣告了Peter Watkins的横空出世。

趣闻
Culloden is a 1964 docudrama written and directed by Peter Watkins for BBC TV. It depicts the 1746 Battle of Culloden, the final engagement of the Jacobite rising of 1745 which saw the Jacobite Army be decisively defeated by government troops and, in the words of the narrator, "tore apart forever the clan system of the Scottish Highlands."
Production
In late 1962 Watkins was engaged as an assistant producer for the BBC's newly established Channel 2, and was later approached by head of the documentary film department Huw Wheldon, to produce a film on the Battle of Culloden.
Culloden was to be Watkins's first full-length film. It was also his first use of his docudrama style in which actors portray historical characters being interviewed by filmmakers on the scene as though it were happening in front of news cameras. The film was produced on a low budget, with only a handful of extras and a single cannon. Watkins made use of carefully planned camera angles to give the appearance of an army.
Watkins also "wanted to break through the conventional use of professional actors in historical melodramas, with the comfortable avoidance of reality that these provide, and to use amateurs—ordinary people—in a reconstruction of their own history." He accordingly used an all-amateur cast from London and the Scottish Lowlands for the Hanoverian forces, and people from Inverness for the Jacobite army, many of whom were direct descendants of those w…
Filming took place in August 1964, near Inverness. According to an estimate by the cinematographer for the film, Dick Bush, about 85% of all camerawork in Culloden was hand-held. This cinéma vérité-style shooting gave an already gritty reality a sense of present action.
