The poker game will be between Joel and a group of crime bosses. The crime bosses will be made up of different actors wearing clothes that look fairly business-esque, much like CEOs of companies or something, but obviously these will be wealthy leaders of crime syndicates or similar. They will be reasonably wealthy-looking, with their phones out on the table, and a stack of chips in front of them all. The direction for these actors will be fairly simple - they don't actually speak throughout the poker game, and instead just look vaguely menacing in front of our fairly innocent protagonist. The protagonist, at the same time, will look ridiculously out of place, wearing just a shirt and a hoodie.
We've decided try and find a way to make the poker table green, in order to make it look as genuine as possible, and we'll also have a lamp in the middle to act as the only light source; the rest of the room will be shrouded in darkness (unless it makes filming the scene difficult or impossible).
The only place we have access to that is simultaneously big enough to hold a poker table, yet has enough room to have the rest of the room shrouded in darkness, would be the study room in the St Marks Sixth Form block. To have it dark enough would also mean that we'd have to shoot at night, which means that we have to wait behind after school with the rest of the crew until we can film. This is fairly manageable, and with some luck we should be able to film the entire scene in one night. There's not much to it - a few different camera angles, close-ups of the crime bosses, and the cards that they have. No dialogue at all is necessary, and it should all be done reasonably quickly.
