There are various pieces that I have taken inspiration from for this project. Specific traits from comics, TV shows, and movies have led me towards an aesthetic that I think will match the type of conflict I wish to portray, which has both a psychological(the moral conflict with justice) and a physical(fighting and stopping the villain) conflict. There is one scene in particular from Daredevil that I think encapsulates the type of energy I want the moral conflict to convey. The scene showcases Daredevil tied up, with the Punisher justifying himself to the masked vigilante. The argument flows well, at least conceptually, with small differences in the overall structure (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWh6A6ZIpfo). Some of it is cheesy or overdone, but I think the idea behind the difference in opinion is something that I want to showcase in my piece.
The other thing that I liked was the obvious power dynamic in this argument. The framing on Daredevil is oftentimes close up and looking sideways, to indicate he cannot physically be present as a functioning member of the conversation, whereas Castle is walking around higher up in the air, at one point with the camera looking up at him while he works on a billboard This type of dynamic adds to the weight of the scene and gives the conversation more meaning.
Another example that comes to mind is the iconic scene in the dark knight where Joker is yelling at Batman to hit him with the motorcycle, and in the game of chicken Batman pulls away at the last second(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKl11EzMTAE). This scene is another that adds tension to the piece and it gives the hero v villain story an interesting spin, because in a scene where the villain is losing the audience feels as though they have won, and the hero continues to struggle along with the audience as their internal and external conflicts build
