Playing Cards Shots

We were given a task to film people playing a card game so that we would get used to using the camera in preparation for our coursework based on thrillers.I think the best shot was when we brought a dark figure into the frame to create suspense.
In terms of editing I learned how to do it so I now know what to do in the real thriller entry.
For mise en scene, i learned that props are important for the scene as this creates more realistic.
We achieved a little bit of suspense by putting a dark figure in the screen without showing the person's face.
We did forget to allow 5 seconds after the shot however we did do it before the shot.
I now have a better understanding of what I have to do for the coursework.
