A winning deck.

A very helpful person educated me the other day on what is the best deck of cards to win. With this persons help, i now know that a 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace are the cards i need. Apparently it is very rare that these combination of cards can come up, but as my male character is cheating, i thought i can get away with it. I have also been thinking about whether or not i should have all of the cards the same 'shape' (i don't know what the word is!) but i mean are they all going to be spades, hearts, diamonds etc.

After some thinking i figured it would be the best idea to have them all of the same 'shape' just to make sure that the continuity is the same in every shot. It would be a disaster if i was editing and found out that the fan of cards the male character is holding were in the same order all the way through the poker game. I also think it would be a good idea to have the 'shape' either a spade or club as these 'sjhapes' are black. If they were red i think they wouldn't stand out so much and not give as much impact as a black 'shape'. So here are the cards i am planning to use:

Remember: I must not forget to film a shot of the gun coming out of my killers coat pocket and also a shot of the trigger being pulled. I didn't film these when i was on location when we were filming the scene of my male character being followed as i thought it would be very risky to wave a gun about in public. So to be on the safe side i decided i would film these two shots (which are close ups) possibly against a brick wall and edit the shot so that it is darker than it originally was. I will then slot inbetween the shots of my killer pointing the gun up the steps at my victim and when she is following him.
