Individual Evaluation

1) In what ways does your media products use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Our film opening is based on the classic film noirs but we added a modern/thriller twist to the theme, comparing our opening to that of other contemporary film noirs such as Brick(2005). We used various techniques in which can be split into four headings.

Editing

We used various editing techniques in our noir such as:

Fades - fades are used to show a lapse in time occured whereby one scene ended and the next scene began after that time occured. We used this in our noir for example when the hitman was walking to the rendevous point with the boss. This is used to speed up the sequence and allowed us to keep the audience interested with the use of interesting effects.

Saturation - Saturation or de-saturation can be used in add colour or discolour the scene. We used this to show the audience that the scene was a flashback.

Continuity editing - Throughout our final project we used continuity editing which means that the scenes are supposed to flow together. This is also used in Brick however both have parts linear and non-linear in the story for example both contain flashbacks which show story that happened before current events.
