Inspirations From Film

We gathered several inspirations that helped form the story and choices we used in our project.

This is a trailer for the movie The Cincinnati Kid. What particularly inspired us from the movie was the underground world of gambling that the movie use. It was also our primary reason for choosing our characters to have a costume of suit and tie. This would give the audience a sense of professionalism and danger.

This is a scene from the 1998 film Rounders. This scene gave us a lot of inspiration as it shows the final hand of the illegal poker game being played. It features only diegetic sound including minimal talking. This was why we made the decision to keep speech to a minimum during our poker game, to make the poker game seem more real to the audience.
