I am able to get camera equipment such as a 5D mark iii, lights and lenses from my uni so it makes more sense to film in Leeds.
Entry
for the British Short Film and British Short Animation categories at the
upcoming EE British Academy Film Awards opens on Monday 12 August and
will close at 12:00 GMT on Wednesday 30 October.
Emotions
Feeling
Europhia
References: Look at stereotypical figures
& gambling films
21
casino royal (more bond movies)
lock stock – when he loses & when they
celebrate
the beach – clip where di caprio goes to
bangcock to get shopping, he is tripping out that the real world is shit
Fear and loathing – del torro and johnny
depp are seeing crazy visuals having virtually out of body experiences.
Gambling
Book called the arcade project – walter
Benjamin
Hungarian lord biggest gambler in paris
Plays millions in one hand
Coolest calmest guy
Sits at table, elegant, paris 19 century
Hand inside of pocket – looks cool and calm
His servant later told everyone he used to
come home and have blood on his finger nails – not calm at all, was so nervous,
would dig his nails into his chest – extreme!
Process of revocation
You think everything is one way – and then
you find out it’s something else
Revealing two fantasies –
Small revolutions of every gamble
Long revolution of the game
Theadore adorno – jewish theorist
Him and Benjamin had letter correspondence
arguing about kafka – a Czech writer early 20th century about things
that seem completely fantastic/not real a guy that wakes up one morning and
turns into an insect – Benjamin said instead of that being fantasy it should be
real. When you exchange something in a market with some one, money is raised to
Transmogrified - transform in a surprising or magical
manner.
Gambling, capitalism, make reality seem
fantastical and make fantastical seem real
Moment of transformation, looking like you
could have a straight or flush but then fait lands you the wrong card
You elevate the money from level of extreme
meaning
Whole gamble is contained within itself
With gambling you use money which is a fake
constructive thing for fake value, but you use chips
Transform chips into money – supernatural
Warped reality
story
Retrospective – show me your hand, metaphor
for cards/hand language for show me your hand, real hand aswel as cards
Embarrassment
Paranoia
Addiction
Intense
Natural reaction
Subconscious what hes doing
Not thinking about it
Difficult to control
Another way in which gambling – where a
metaphor becomes real – what we are showing is that its not a metaphor at all,
the cards actually become your hand, like the chips becomes £100 for instance.
Reality is changed by that process.
Change of emotion – change of
reality/fantasy
Before the last card comes up, the reality
where u think you’ve won hangs in the air.
Everytime you gamble it creates two
possibilities – and one of the possibilities collapses
Casino is altered reality – in Vages its
only ever nighttime, always only serving dinner because they don’t want people thinking
its morning. Argument is its 10am outself its daylight, when your in the casino
your thinking its 10pm and its dinner time – you believe the fake constructed
reality nighttime.

Casino as film set – casino managers –are
genies lighting artists – making the gamblers believe its nighttime – lighting
of slot machines – tables are lit, how to they light the poker table to the
roulette wheel – different kind of reality’s that they are trying to portray –
as a casino you want people to be in a different mindset from a roulette table
to a poker table – colour schemes – black, red, green
People, women next to him
