One thing he does is to load and point the muzzle straight down near his left foot. Would it be safer to point it a couple feet forward?

What I do not understand, he has a perfectly good pump why not use the magazine. Or is the exercise for when the magazne is empty?
And why not use snapcaps much cheaper in the long run if you pratice a lot.

Just out of curiosity, what are you trying to replicate?
I'm curious because I don't know why you have shotgun shells on your left hip. When I think of places I'd want to keep spare shot ammo, I think I'd want it on the gun itself, and save my left hip for spare pistol magazines.
So in what kind of combat are you putting shot ammo on your left hip?

Wouldn't it make more sense to start with one or two in the magazine, and one chambered? Then shoot until it is empty in the position you would be in rather than looking like you lost something on the ground, and pointing a loaded shotgun at your foot. Just sayin'!

Less motion if you bring the round up from underneath and roll it into the ejection port....rather than coming in from over the top. Coming from the top, there is virtually nothing to index on and as you can see, the shooter fumbles the rounds getting the them in. There is also lost time as the support hand comes from the eject port back over the top of the receiver and then has to wrap underneath to rack the slide.
Coming from underneath, the round is held between the first and fourth finger. The hand can easily index against the forward edge of the trigger guard while the two fingers guide and roll the round into the open ejection port. The support hand then moves forward a couple of inches, engages the slide, and racks it home. A lot more efficient.
