Joker magic trick


Joker’s pencil magic trick.
The scene is of some mob bosses sitting around a table talking about their money, they have their grunts sitting behind them. The scene is set in a kitchen, this is to show that they are hiding and that this meeting is secret. This is a mid shot, there is laughing. You don’t know where the laughing is coming from and who is doing it. The two bosses look right quickly to show surprised. Cut to show two more bosses this is still a mid shot.  The boss on the right has a stern look on his face this is to show that he is angry.  Both their grunts get up quickly this is to show that they are ready to kill who it is. Cut to over the shoulder shot/ tracking shot. The person that it is over you can only in shadow; this makes you think who is it. then they walk towards the mob mosses and into the light and you can then see their green hair and you know right away that it is the Joker. The laughing is coming from him. Cut to a long mid shot of the Joker he says “And I thought my jokes were bad.” This is to remark on what the mob boss said on the TV. The Jokers face and his makeup shows that he is crazy. Cut to mid shot of mob boss he says back to the Joker “give me one reason why I shouldn’t have my boy pull your head off.” This is to show that he dose not like the Joker. Cut to Joker mid shot. The Joker says back to him “how about a magic trick.” This is funny because you would not say this to a real mob boss and it also shows that the Joker dose not think much about him. Cut back to the same boss still mid shot. He has a look of bewilderment. This is shown by his eyes looking at the Joker and his mouth open as if not knowing what to say to that. Cut to another mid shot. The joker slams a pencil down herd on the table. This makes you think what is he going to do with that. Then he says “I am going to make this pencil disappear.” As he says this it cuts over to the next shot. The same boss looks even more shocked then before. The man next to him gets up. Cut to the Joker waving his hands over the pencil. You still are thinking what is he going to do. He stands up as the man goes to grab him.  The camera pans up.  He grabs the mans hand and back of his head. He slams the mans head down on the table the pencil is gone. You can guest where it has gone. This makes you wince and all so laughter but you know you should not. The Joker says “ta-da!” as if it was magic. Then he says “it’s, it’s gone.” Waving his hands trying to make it look magical. Cut to other boss the Joker says “Oh, and by the way, the suit, it wasn’t cheap.” The boss moves his head as if to say that he did make the pencil disappear. Cut back to the Joker he goes on to say “you ought to know, you bought it.”  This is a line about something the bosses said before this scene the Joker is also showing he has no fear of the bosses. Cut to a mid shot/ pan up of the boss that does not like the Joker. He gets up very fast. This is to show that he is very angry with the Joker. Cut back to the other boss. He same to like the Joker because he says “I want to hear proposition.” Cut back to the boss that does not like the Joker he looks at the other boss then at the Joker, this shows that he is very unhappy with what the other boss is saying. Cut back to the joker he points to the other boss to show that he should listen to him.  Cut back to the boss he sits down slowly looking at the Joker the hole time, this shows that he does not trust the Joker. As he is sitting down the Joker says “let’s wind the clocks back a year.” Cut to the Joker he is looking up showing that he is imagining this. He goes on to add “these cops and lawyers wouldn’t dare cross any of you. I mean, what happened? Did your balls drop off? Hm? You see, a guy like me” This is to show that ones they were powerful but now they are not. When he says hm he looks at the bosses this is to reinforce what he is saying.  Cut to over the shoulder of the Joker to the boss that does not like him. He says “a freak.” As he says this he looks at the Joker to show that he is mocking him. You hear another boss say “damn right.” Cut back to the Joker. The Jokers eyes are shut and goes on to say as if what the boss said has not sunk in “a guy like me.” Then he stops and opens his eyes and points at the boss with squinted eyes to show that the words have just got to him. “look listen.” Then he looks at the other bosses and says “I know why you choose to have your little, ahem.” He clears his throat this is to show that he is thinking about what to say next. Then he goes on to say “group-therapy sessions in broad daylight.” Cut to another boss he seems to be smirking to show that he thinks what do you know. The Joker goes on to say “I know why you’re afraid to go out at night.” Cut back to Joker close-up of Jokers face. His eyes are looking up this is to show that what he is saying is serous. “the Batman.” Cut to boss who’s eyes and the way he is sitting show that he is taking an interest in what the joker is saying but at the mention of the Batman he looks scared. The Joker says “see, Batman has shown Gotham your true colours, unfortunately.” He is saying this as it is true and as a dig at them. It cuts back to the boss that does not like him. He was looking at the Joker but when he says this he looks away. This is to show that he knows it is true and he is ashamed of it. “dent, he’s just the beginning.” Cut back to the Joker close-up the Joker is really looking at them now. “and as for the television’s so-called plan.” He is waving his fingers at the point to show he is talking to the boss on the TV. Cuts to the boss on the TV he looks shocked to what the Joker is “saying. The Joker goes on to say “Batman has no jurisdiction.” This is to show that their plan of moving their money and then them going into hiding is stupid because the Batman will find them. Then cut back to the Joker he says “he’ll find and make him squeal.” He is squeezing his hands together to show this and to say that he is and if court will be the weak chain that will bring all of them down.
