Flashback: A car will pull into a drive way at night switch of its lights and a man will get out. Again this will be very brief and the sound of the door shutting will be echoing.

This again will create a sense of history between the main characters as well as start giving the idea of what the film is about.

CIGAR SCENE

Someone lights up a cigar, with him starting to smoke it and blowing smoke towards the camera.

CLOSE UP SHOT OF FACE/CIGAR/LIGHT

This will show the old school nature of the film and express the characters emotion and seriousness while lighting the cigar

BAR/BOTTLE SCENE

The camera pans showing bottles close up and the poker players out of focus in the distance. This shot then tracks across behind a dark bartender figure and onto his other side where you see the two glasses of whiskey finishing being poured

TRACKING SHOT

The tracking shot keeps the tension of the scene not revealing the characters involved while leading onto the next shot nicely. It also sets the scene of being in a bar/casino environment.

WAITRESS CARRYING WHISKEY SCENE

The camera tracks the waitress who has picked up the whiskey glasses originally poured. It will then follow her as she walks to put down the glasses down. Switching to her front half way through.

TRACKING, SHOT/REVERSE SHOT

This shot will show off the wealth of the people playing the poker game as well as keeping the ambiguity of the scene as the shots don’t give enough away but still sparks interest as well as using the girls assets to attract the male viewers.

PUTTING THE GLASSES DOWN

The girl will put the whiskey glasses down in their correct places and walk away out of shot. Then a hand hold one of them and swirls it around.

CLOSE UP

This shot again keeps the ambiguity of the scene only showing bits of the main characters playing poker keeping the sense of suspense.

CUTAWAY TO SMOKING SHOT

CUTTING OF CARDS

The dealer will cut the cards a few times and start to turn over cards into the middle.

Flashback: There will be a brief shot of a body crumbling to the floor in a dark room and a gun shot echoing due to the effect of the flashback but will be a very brief cutaway.

This will spark the audiences interest and hint at signs of a past history between the two main characters.

Continues to place the cards.

CLOSE UP SHOT

This shot and flashback will start to hint at more of the backstory keeping the suspense but raising new questions. As well as using another convention of a typical crime thriller

THE PLACING/THROWING OF CHIPS INTO THE MIDDLE

Both characters will put there chips into the middle. One character will throw there chips into the middle and the other will slide them into the middle.

MAN 1: Lets get this done then.

SHOT/REVERSE SHOT, OVER THE SHOULDER BACKGROUND OUT OF FOCUS

This shot will show the first bit of dialogue that isn’t illegible. The dialogue will hint at the reason why they are playing due to the emotion in the voices. One will be calm and collect and the

other angry

STARE OUT (TWO)(EYELINE)

Flashback: A man digging a hole in the ground with a balaclava on. The sound of the shovel being heard above all else making it uncomfortable this will be short cutaway.

It will again give the sense of history between the characters and portray a darker side to the families.

This will be both the people in the same shot with background out of focus. One will down there drink.

The other look at his watch..

THE REVEALING OF THE CARDS

Dealer: Gentleman, reveal your cards.

The dealer will ask to reveal there cards. Each player will throw there cards into the middle but the scene will snap to black with writing on the screen saying three 8 years before.

AERIAL SHOT OR TWO SHOT

This will be the ambiguous start of a film making the audience want to watch the rest of the movie as there are so many un answered questions. Especially with the subtitles at the end.

THE END
