Planning; Poker Scene

The Poker Scene:

Need any number between 4 and 10 players for the poker scene including the protagonist.

Have a couple clips of them playing Poker

Have the main character winning most of the hands

The have him get cocky and go all in with one hand

He has a straight Flush,

As he goes to take the money

Someone else has a Royal Flush

Through the transitions have breaks between the clips and also have text going through such as…

*Clip 1*

(Black Screen)

*Text: What happens*

*Clip 2*

(Black Screen)

*Text: When you bet it all*

*Clip 3*

(Black Screen)

*Text: And lose?*

Mise En Scene:

The lighting will have to be as dark as I can make it to represent all the crime bosses and unsavoury characters that do dark deeds regularly. Also I will have empty bottles of Jack Daniels (if possible) also with bottles of vodka (if possible) around the table.  If not a substitute would be apple juice in clear glasses, a couple small bags of flour to give the illusion of drug abuse. Finally cigars or cigarettes.

Sound will just be them laughing at talking or alternatively depending on the camera at hand we’ll just have the soundtrack dubbed over.

Skip to next scene which will most probably be the confrontation between the protagonist and his Cousin.

This is the storyboard of the Poker Scene. I thought since most of the sequences happen at the same time just drawing one large picture for the storyboard and making notes about the camera angles and shots would be better than drawing loads of different shots of essetnailly the same thing.

This is the set we were using to the poker scene. In the image we were currently getting it ready so there were still bits and pieces to take away and add but this was the overall feel we were going for in the whole scene.
