Evaluation of the scene:

I think this scene portrays the trapped scary atmosphere of a factory farm well. The point of view of being in a cage shows the confined spaces animals are limited too and there is not much else to see but metal cages filled with animals and darkness, really showing how bad the conditions are. And these bad conditions is why factory farms are linked to the over use of antibiotics. For improvements I could animate the chickens to move in the scene, this would add another level of realism to the animation.

Render improvements:

When I first rendered this scene the one issue I had to change was the lighting of the scene. This is because I used a very reflective metal looking material on the bars and when the camera moved the light reflection on the bars moved in a strange way which made it look like the light was flashing at the camera and it was very distracting to watch. To change this I dimmed the lighting a bit and also made the material of the bars less reflective.
