Practice Filming

Here we have tried to film some scenes from the storyboard. We have not used the actual cast or locations, we have approximated these, but we have been trying to get a feel for how the piece will run. We are not happy with the scene of the boss in the office. We need to create a much more mysterious, enigmatic feel and this will probably work better if we move to an extreme close up and try to disguise the boss's identity a little. We have also been concerned about the shot where the camera slowly circles around the players in the poker game. We like the shot in theory, but because you have to move slowly to get a smooth shot there are also awkward gaps where the camera is moving but not showing anything of any significance. Moving it faster creates blurring. So we have planned an alternative shot to take as well just in case.
