The Brief

 

For this years coursework, we are expected (as a group of 4) to create a short Film Noir (approx. 5 minutes long). So far in our lessons, we have had the chance to watch a variety of Film Noir's, ranging from 1950 all the way to 2009, including the likes of 'Body Heat', 'The Black Dahlia' and ' '. This allowed us to look more in depth at the key codes and conventions of this particular genre to inspire and help us in the near future when creating our own piece.

As well as the main task above, we are also expected (individually) to carry out 2 of the 3 available ancillary tasks:-

• A poster of the film
• A radio trailer for the film
• A film magazine review page for the film

To reach the final product, I will record all my research, planning and progress on this blog. I hope that by looking in detail at the film Noir, it will give me further insite and wider knowledge of Film Noir as a whole, and help tpwards creating a final piece which is relevant and stays true to the Genre.
