Extra Research

We found that further research was needed on the conventions of a Film Noir. Sin City is the most recent and well known Film Noir to us, we decided to take a close look at how the camera is used to connote the female’s dominance in the opening. We found that the use of low angles was mainly used to make her look more dominant than him, to the use of dialogue is a powerful tool that we need to take into consideration as our opening has very little dialogue so far. Additionally we where going to use a balcony which is similar to Sin City, we had to be careful that we where not being to Cliché, but most thrillers especially Film Noir use similar conventions to sell for a mass audience.
