The Brief

I was asked to make my own film noir opening. In order to do this I have had to study the history of film noir and find out where and when exactly film noir originated from. I also had to develop a clear understanding of what sort of codes and conventions were associated with film noir, and in order to make a realistic film noir opening I had to study what aspects of mise-en-scene, cinematography, editing and sound are used and how they are used in order to suit the typical film noir characteristics
