Evaluation of individual shots

Titles
We intended for this scene to look like the name of our film written in cocaine. We used flour to look as close to the drug as possible.
Take 1 - We just blew the flour away normally but as the flour was compressed where we had rolled a rolling pin over it to flatten it it did not blow away.
Take 2 - we wiped the flour away with a hand, it looks successful but was not what we had planned on the storyboard
Take 3 - a hairdryer was used outside to blow the flour away, there is a reflection of the hairdryer on the tile but the overall effect was successful

Smoking scene
We tried a range of shots here to shot the character smoking. This included an extreme close up of the end of the cigarette. Some of the shots are slightly overexposed so these may have to be shot again.

Close-Up of "Drugs
We used caster sugar and water in a spoon to look like herion and we used a +10 macro close up lens attachment to film the spoon close up. We did the same with golden syrup in the spoon and held a lighter underneath to make the shots look realistic. The shallow depth of field in the shot means the reflection of the lighter is seen in the tile in the background as an orb light circle which makes the shot more aesthetically successful and intriguing.
