prestige

 The dark lighting at the start of the scene and before and magic trick takes place in the scene/ carrying on throughout the film, helps build suspense for the audience. The costume that balden the magition is wearing makes him look like a normal person and not part of the act, so when he passes under stage he looks guilty to the death of the other magition (the great danton).
when danton was drowning, frantic/ fast beat music was going to suggest that the great dantons life was in danger and then he dies following the insedant. The fact that Balden was watching Danton drown and did nothing to save him earlier suggests he is an evil character.

PRELIMINARY Task

This preliminary task went better than last time because the shots were cleaner, and Olly took his role alot more seriously which did show in the filming. When filming the cameraman made a mistake of filming and stopping filming whilst it should have been.
