Evaluation Notes

Film Noir - First edit

Below is the 1st draft of our Film Noir production. After showing the first draft to the class, we received audience feedback which was very useful, and because of this audience feedback we are going to change and add several things;

- take away the speech from the opening scene and replace with a voiceover which i need to acquire. 
- add in Film Noir styled music to the opening
- add a title sequence when the detectives are walking down the street
- add a sound effect of a gunshot when the gun is fired
- take away the audio from the final shot so footsteps can't be heard

Diary Entry - 4

I have now completed our first edit of our Film Noir opening, we recieved some feedback after showing it to the class, and some of the suggestions we recieved were to:

• Brighten up darker scenes
• Use a voice over at the starting chat scene, instead of the diagetic sounds.
• Use titles when the two characters are walking down the street (As this takes a while) and the use of titles should keep it interesting.

We have decided to take all of these suggestions into account, and try to incorporate all of them into our second, or final draft of our Film Noir.

Film Noir - Research into costume and Hair

Research into Femme Fatal hairstyles

From these pictures we can see that the classic Femme Fatale always seem to have curly hair. This seems to be typical conventions of the Femme Fatale females in Film Noir films. Without Femme Fatale we will try to get them to style their hair like this so we can fit with typical conventions, helping to make it look more like a Film Noir.

Film Noir Detectives

From these pictures above we can see the the typical conventional Men in Film Noir generally wear the black hat, with a shirt tie and suit. Meaning they are well dressed. We will try our best to follow this dress scheme to try and fit to the typical Film Noir conventions as much as possible.
