Ace - Set

This is what the set looked like when built. We had a few problems at the beginning of the day as we had confusion over where the door should go. We had started off with no door, and then we had a door put in for us.

On the day i provided a poker set, which had a green felt mat that we placed on the table. We also had a smoke machine, which added a smokey effect. This suited the atmosphere that we wanted to create and made it look more like the players had been smoking. We had a hanging light bulb above the table, which gave a raw feel to the scene.

OPENING THIRILLER SEQUENCE

After, long consideration we have come up with a concept of what we want our sequence to develop into. Beginning with the main action of the poker scene, and then ending with a gunshot, and for a red 'blood' curtain to fill the screen. This is where the credits begin...
Whilst researching similar films we found we like how the James Bond 'Casino Royale' credits are floating around a 'card' animation of the Queen of Hearts, Ace of Spades etc. In order for us to have the ability to do this, we do need to draw some animations to use.
I like the effect that it brings to an actioned scene before, as the card game is the focal point of the narrative. Due to the cards playing a big factor in the film itself. Another reason why I am interesting in us trying this, is because it is not your conventional credits and so will keep the audience interested.
