Film Noir

Maltese Falcon by John Huston 1941
Typically this genre involves mature adults so If I were to include this genre I would need adults not teenagers. This film makes good use of establishing short takes of iconic landmarks. We fade between each take to gradually reduce closer to the setting of the first scene. We then see a tilting shot inside looking outside towards the landmarks. We see the central protagonist first and we see stereotypes of a rough detective and an innocent maid. Although this scene contains only shot reverse shot it creates variety with pans and the 30 degree rule.

Clerks by Kevin Smith 1994
This is a more modern black and white film. As we see the Miramx logo we hear the background sound of the action to create narrative enigma. Their is a sans typography title to anchor the meaning and signify that this is documentary style. Their is an audio bridge before the first shot. This is 1 minute in of film logo's I will have to make mine much shorter. They have then dressed the set to signify the protagonists character with clothes everywhere, he is on the floor, he is next to his bed, he is half in a cupboard and the room is small all which signify he is lazy, drunk, poor and messy. The first shot is a long take of this and unusually behind the bed to signify the small size of the room I may use this. Their is a cutaway shot of a dog to create humour. The music is then added it is pacy and speeds up the editing to be more elliptical. Their is a lot of close up shots to create anchorage. Their see a point of view shot as he looks in the car bonnet from the car. We are hinted the disequilibrium although as we finish this scene we enter the disequilibrium.
