I'm planning on shooting one of the scenes in my music video on the 27th January, which is tomorrow. I've done some storyboards to know exactly what I'm doing.
It is not in order but I have placed the lyrics alongside each shot. This will allow me to determine which part of the song fits with which shots.
The Lunatic's normal close-ups and shots of The Laughing Man were mainly inspired by a scene in 'Donnie Darko' - it happens at 9:18 in this video:
I thought it could suit Andrew Goodwin's theory of intertextual references. Except for the antagonist being in a golf course, mine will be under a street lamp. The Lunatic will be under another streetlamp. They will face one another. I thought that the Lunatic and the Laughing Man could be contentedly imprisoned in this nice pool of light. But one can still influence the other to going into darkness.
I thought the use of ECUs on the eyes would be appropriate here. I thought I'd copy the technique used by Sergio Leone in "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" (from 7:10 onwards):
I thought that idea of a stand-off between the Lunatic and The Laughing Man would do well. The ECUs could also be rapidly cut together to suit the music when the pace quickens. It would also be good to try and copy the over-head shots and the wides to suit that kind of atmosphere.
