24/09.13 PLANNING: FILM NOIR

Today we started to further develop our idea of Film Noir. Film Noir is a style or genre of film marked by a mood of pessimism, fatalism and menace. We knew that George had some resources we could use, like a old time Double Decker bus. We needed to decide whether we would film it in colour or in black and white. Kate had the idea that we should do it in sepia. We liked that idea and considered it. As well as this we thought we would like the music from Jonathon Creek. We also looked at a couple of film Noir books and thought of movies we liked in the film noir genre. We then thought about our story and conventions used in film noir. We started working on a very rough storyboard. We then knew we would have to continue this in the next lesson.
