Rounders(1998) Opening Hand Analysis

Rounders(1998) Opening hand Analysis 

In this scene Mikey(the main protagonist) goes against KGB(main antagonist) and loses the hand. This scene will be one of the main influences on our final product. The camera angles used in this scene are extremely important to the theme of the film. The used close ups of the faces of the players to show that they have no expression. They also use good close up on the cards the players have. Which is a good use of the close up camera angle.

With editing they use fast cuts on each of the players. This is a good use in editing which we will use in our final product. They use a low key lighting within this which makes the scene more tense. The lighting is important to any poker/gambling theme video.

The audience of who would watch this would be people within the ages of 18-40 and those people would play poker.

This scene will be extremely important to our finished product. We will take the type of shots, the lighting and the general expression of the characters from this scene. For example we will take the 'back street gambling' setting from this and use it in our final product.
