In our lesson, we were set a task to film a game of cards in a thrilling and exciting way. We were also asked to create an atomosphere of suspense. To create a sense of tension we had to include:
- ECU (Extreme Close Up)
- A POVE shot (Point Of View)
- An over the shoulder shot
- A tracking shot
For the props the had to include a pack of cards, two players, a table and chairs to sit on.
- There were low angle shots of the table, from the different corners of the room.
- Then, there is a panning of the room, where the card game is going to be set.
- Then, we zoom in and get a close up of the cards layed out on the table.
- Then, we zoom in and get a close up of the card game being played and the cards in the two players hands.
- There is is dark screen for about three seconds, to get the audience to think what is going to happen next.
- Then, there is a shot of a spinning chair, to show that something has happend to the players, seeing as they are not in the shot no more.
- Then, at the end, the cards are scattered on the table. The camera is unsteady, as it is a point of view shot, as if someone in the room looking at the table, confused by what has happend.
What could have been better :
When I watched the clip all over again, I noticed that the zooming in was too much. To make it better we could have just got a close up of the cards on the table. I liked the sound effects at the beggining, I think that is what made it more effective. I think at the end, when it showed all the cards scattered on the table, we could have had someone's hand in the shot, as if they were murdered, to get the audience wondering how they got murdered.
