BEWITCHED: TAROT
PROJECT BRIEF
PROP LIST
tarot card deck
tarot card reading guide book
shrine with various items
crystals
large pieces of fabric to place shrine on
basket from picnic scene
(3) doll making material bundled in fabric
fishing line
low tack artist tape
Tight shot of witch levitating three cards between her hands.
NOTE: Levitating effect is achieved by taping fishing line to cards to achieve effect. Check with Emily to see if she’s okay with using tape on cards. Tape will be low tack and is not suppose to rip when removed (but it’s not 100% guarenteed). If tape cannot be used, frames can be adjusted easily.
Wide shot of witches gathered around shrine. Multiple spirits lurk in the woods behind them (and around them if trees are in foreground).
NOTE: Spirit effect will be achieved by taking a long exposure while moving in place. Multiple exposures of spirits in different positions will be combined in post.
Low angle shot of tarot witch holding book in one hand, her other hand hovers over cards (not in frame due to angle), behind her there are two spirits. Try different poses and camera angles before doing second exposure for spirits. Second frame is a tight mid shot of spirits in the woods.
NOTE: Two exposures will be taken, one for the tarot witch and then a long exposure for the spirits (as it may be hard for the tarot card witch to hold completely still for the long exposure).
Wide angle shot of witch. Tarot card levitates in her hands. Second frame is a tight headshot (fill frame) of witch holding card. Vary expression/gesture according to witch’s persona. Try several different poses/expressions.
NOTE. To keep the framing consistent for each witch for the wide shot, use the camera’s multiple exposure mode (set to 3 exposures). For headshot, tripod will need to be used to get proper depth of field (play with the distance between face and card).
