Ideal camera angles

Diamond Flush is very 'Guy Richie-esque' and will mean that our trailer/film will incorporate loads of different camera angles focus points and mise en scene. The editing element will be shown in a later blog..


Focus
This camera shot was taken to show less focus on the closer aspects of the picture but more on the money and the person behind, ideal for wider angled shots, like the scene of our trailer where we have a reaction from Maverick.
These types of clips will be used mainly for reactions and very very slow moving shots, focus shots possibly changing so that the focus is drawn from the money to the person.










Angles



These Side angle shots of characters faces and profiles will create a better image to tell what the persons 'poker face' will be.
We thought with this type of scene the angle would come in handy in the general mood of the film but also help us to glamorize the trailer in certain parts, maybe a flush of colour of fast fading of red to look epic, followed by fast moving andf fast editied short scenes.
The mise en scene is almost as if a guardian is on the shoulder of the poker player telling them what to do.







Still-moving shots

This reaction will be helpful as we can show the emotions of characters in either slow or normal speed
This scene contains real money which will also use in our piece in order to authenticate the overall scheme of things, we will also authenticate the film by use of a real vault and the driving of a car in the 'wheel spin' scenes'.












POV shots

The shots really do make it special. When using a Point Of View shot we can see what that person has in their hand as well what others are competing against..
With other characters we can tell how nervous or confident they are if they have twitchy hands or habits with with their hands.
Aswell as card holding scenes we have scenes where we are running and they camera is held in a point of view position so that the audience sees what we see.





Full Body Shots



As the film is about Poker the film would expectadley be filmed with characters behind a table, therefore we use more full body shots to fill that void and make it less monotonous.
I personally get chills when a character gets angry, for instance Gerard Butler in 300 (the iconic scene of "This Is Sparta!!") and when seeing the anger through shouting large movements and full bodied, wide camera angle clips, this inhabits a sense of that goosbumpy escence.



























Down Angles/Superior Angles
The Birds eye view style of filming always looks good, particualrly when scanning round the table to see everyones hands..
















High Angle
High Angle Shots are used for power images, for Chase when getting out his chair or whenever he needs to move or go somewhere, the face augments to the power he entails in each scene.
