New Idea

We have come up with a few new ideas. Our first is a switch between a bank robbery and an intense poker game. We thought that we would've had a spotlight on a poker table so that the people sitting around the table would be blacked out. All we would see is the hands dealing the cards. This would create a sense of illegal gambling and make the audience feel cold. 
We would then cut to robbers throwing money into a van while arguing. We would then keep cutting back and forth between the poker game and the robbers to create a link between them. Tension would also be built through intense music. 
Our aim would be for the audience to come to the conclusion that the poker players have an illegal connection with the robbers.

Dash's blog post on this idea:

Over the holidays we arranged to speak on the 30th of December and share our ideas. We had some technical difficulties with Haydon's Skype, so for a while it was Ashen, Alen and me. Ashen introduced his new idea to us and all of us found some way of developing it in order to make it more exciting.

Ashen's idea: A cross cut switch between a robbery and an intense poker game. Like in most movies there would be a spotlight on the table and the people sitting around it would just have slightly dimmed lighting surrounding them. The only thing that the audience would focus on is the hand dealing the cards out. We are unable to see the background and the place that all of this is happening in, as it is all blacked out. This could potentially suggests that the game could have an illegal twist to it. There would be sudden cuts to these amateur robbers throwing bags of cash into a small white minivan. The robbers are all in black disguise. There would constantly be cuts from the poker game to the white van as the robbers get in and start to argue about something that had gone wrong.
