TONE/STYLE The tone and style of Super Students will be a combination of the following: 1. Batman (1960’s) (TV Show) 2. Charlie’s Angels (TV Show or Film) 3. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (Film) 4. NTSF: SD: SUV (TV Show) 5. Tainted Love (Web Series)
TONE/STYLE
TONE/STYLE § I plan to shoot Super Students hand-held for a naturalistic look, with possible natural lighting, and to occasionally use dutch angles to pay tribute to the 1960’s Batman TV show.
