Here is an idea i thought of after watching Guy Ritchie's Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels.
The part i gained inspiration from in particular strats from 4 mins 20 seconds in where he looses the poker game and the realisation that he now owes £250,000 to some very bad people.
It looks like the camera man uses the zoom to focus in on the characters face while moving away from him to illustrate his dismay at the situation(also used in goodfellas in the cafe scene between Jimmy and Henry). He the films the characters face from below but still using a close up face shot.
I have interpreted this and applied it to our short film. We could use a wobbly, low but close up shot to reflect our main characters mind state when on drugs, and also loosing his insanity. My idea is to film this around three or four times, getting the actor to wobble from alternate sides. We could then use after effects to vary the opacity on the shots and layer each take to create a variety of shadows all in the same shot.
