Today we watched a documentary on the rules of Film Noir. This fitted in really well with planning the foundation of my second idea.
Film Noir Rules:
Shadows
Guns
Narration/Voiceover
Nightmarish images
Heroine is a predator
The blonder the more evil
Character positioning
Tough Guy
Suspense
In the trailer I will need to think about conceptual ideas, cinematography (Lighting,framing, angle and focus) and narrative structure. To enable the audience to establish the genre and understand the basic storyline. This is proven on Media Know All: (Film and TV genre products are governed by certain predictable narrative features, dress codes (Western/War films), lighting effects (Film Noir), special fx and explosions (Sci/fi and Action),http://www.rssmediastudies.co.uk/main/forms-and-conventions/) This will allow the audience to identify the genre as a Film Noir, common conventions dark lighting and shadows such a ventian blinds cast over characters.
