Planning and References

After the green screen session, i had a much better idea of what i wanted to do with my scene. At first I wanted to mimic the iconic cinematography from the standoff in "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", specifically the closeups on the hands and faces. However this approach is all about taking time to build the tension, and I only have 30 seconds for this shot, So eventually I decided to just keep the camera still.

As well as acting out the scene repeatedly, i sketched out the changes in body language and posture that would happen throughout, and made notes.
