Here is our insanely long storyboard.

It should be mentioned that Aidan wrote all the following stuff by the way, just so I don't go stealing credit and all that.


There are direct links between the stuff we used for research and our finished storyboard:

The shots of the standoff between Carlos and Lucifer, is a direct link to The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, and other Sergio Leone Spaghetti Wesetern films, which popularised the type of shot.

The sideways on tracking shot of Lucifer running across the table and firing the bananas is a spoof of the shot in Desperado in which Antonio Banderas runs across the table firing two pistols, with a similar style of shot. The whole scene is in someway influenced by Desperado.

The shot in which Lucifer shoots through one man's head to hit another is inspired by, if not a full recreation of, a shot from Wanted. However in Wanted the shot is a tracking shot (similar to the table running and shooting shot in this) and in ours it is a stationary long shot followed by a closed of the second man being hit.

Other elements of the storyboard are not direct references but are inspired by generic conventions of the "action" genre. For example, the midshot of the senorita winking after smacking a man with a frying pan is a convention that we lifted from action films, as there is often a humorous ending to action sequences.
