Visual References for Scene on Tuesday, April 3

We're going to have an intense game of poker-style cards for our next scene. It is a circle of high stakes players, winner take all. It's intense, dark, low-key.

The key light with be a single overhead source - an arri 650w on a c-stand.


Inspiration for camera movement - circular dolly that tracks around the table:

Overhead lighting from the interrogation scene in Spike Lee's Clockers:

The camera will track around the table (180 degree dolly move) and end up with a ms of the main character who wins. I want that person to be lit with a glowing hair light.

Visual References for class on Thurs March 29

Our scene is inspired by Black Panther and other action/crime films.

We will have a character creeping in the jungle and we see him through bits of light and shadow, inspired by this image:

We will track across the jungle darkness as he crawls like a panther then tilt up with him as the police catch him. The police lights will illuminate his face to show he has been caught.

I'm inspired by these visual references:

The challenge here is that we have to it feel like the police are there without any police cars.

Are we up for the challenge???
