Introduction About My Film Noir Coursework:

Hello my names Chantelle. For my Media AS coursework I will be blogging my research, information of film noir thrillers and the final project.

The final project is I am going to do is to produce a two to three minute film opening that will connect with "Film Noir Thrillers". I will be working in a group of no more then 4 and I will have to create my own story board, affects, sound etc to achieve the best out come to my final project. We will have our own roles to contribute as a group, from research, planning and actually filming the opening. Everyone will get a chance to do a bit of everything so I will be update everything I do to achieve the out comes of the final project: the film opening on to my blog showing each sections I do to achieve the outcome. I will be doing a lot of research of film noir to find out exactly what film noir is.

Also I’ll write what Noir Genre is and also include the values, traditions, narrative, mood and conventions of film noir to a new audience by using the styles and settings from Film Noir Films. I’ll add small things to my blog letting you know when the best television schedules and on which TV station to the would suit my opening sequence of the new Film Noir Thriller, and also what audience it will attract and why they would want to go see this time of film. I’m going to also analyse a few noir/thriller films so I can see how they have made it become a noir film for example using dark rooms using natural lighting to give it a thriller experience.

Before making the thriller/Noir opening we are going to do a Preliminary Exercise in a group of 4 and will have to do an evaluation individually and will put this all on my blog. This will also help us with our final piece as it will let us try out shots, the 180 angle line rule, sound, camera movement, storyboards etc.  This will give us a chance to make mistakes and realise how to prove it in the main project make the final project ever better because we will know 100% on how to use the camera, how to add sound etc, making our coursework as best as it can be.
