The backup Location - "Gambling Den"

Today i am going to phone the casino and make an appointment with the manager. However if it turns out that it's not possible to film at the desired location, i will require create a backup plan so as not to fall behind in my schedule and make sure i hit my deadline. 

For example instead of playing in a smart/posh casino, a more underground, illegal 'gambling den' might represent the band more appropriately. Ideally a posh looking casino would be preferred as this makes a good contrast with the backstreet local pub feel of the live performance. 

Location where this could take place:

-Basement

-Garage

- Attic

- Even a low lit rough looking room

Props

- Plastic chips

- Roulette wheel

- Playing cards

- Money (notes)

- Items on the table (keys, watches, jewelry ect..)

Costume and Character Representation

I don't think a smart costume such as a suit would suit a gambling den, yet it has been used before. Although thinking about it, a suit that has been roughed up would create the right representation considering the location. This could mean an open collar, jewelry, tattoos.

It is important that the way the character looks, reflects how he is playing. So for example at the start the characters are to look smart, to represent their wealth. But gradually as they lose money their appearance needs to slightly change to look rougher. The appearance needs to be directly emotive of the character. This way by the end of the video, when there is no money left, the final shot could be a high angle of the character in shadow, with his head slumped in his hands looking a mess followed by a fade out. 

[edit] - i will know today if this plan will be needed or not, yet is there incase it is.
