Cinematic ideas for 'With great power'

Cinematic Ideas
Inspired by comic book super-hero films the post-production will involve a lot of enhancing sound and split-screen. To show the contrast between the two sides of the split-screen there will be difference in light, costuming and iconography.
For example, in the good side there will be high-key lighting and in the bad low-key lighting.
The imagery will also reflect these polar opposites with decorations being darker or lighter depending on the character reflected.
The good guy will have the classic look of a plaid shirt, glasses and will reflect, in his body language and face, a lack of confidence and fear of confrontation. The kind of person who would let another walk all over them just to avoid having to say no.
The bad guy will be a complete polar opposite to this. Sunglasses, leather jacket and dressed all in black his body language will be overconfident and arrogant. As though daring people to get in his way.
The camera shots will also be reflective of the comic book genre. Plenty of close-up reaction shots and close-ups of violence. Again the enhanced sound here will add a hyper-real aspect to this short film. Techniques such as montage and tracking will be used to show the passing of time here.
The overall tone created should be comedic, fantastical but with a underlying moral message.

Whilst making The Game, my intentions were to make the audience empathise with the narrator, and to show them how judgement takes place in the mind. I was inspired by films such as The Deerhunter, Locked Stocked and two smoking barrels and Rounders. In preparation for this task I watched: La Jetee by Marker, The Gunslinger by Kissack, Curfew by Christensen, Wasp by Arnold, and High Maintenance by Van. In terms of the story, I chose to have an almost circular narrative. This choice was influenced by Chris Marker’s La Jettee, where the events that take place at the start of the film take place at the end. Although The Game doesn’t involve time travel, flash backs or alternate realities, it does s
