Film Noir proposal for practical performance.

For our practical performance we have decided to focus of the genre of film noir, as we enjoy the mystery genre. Our opening sequence will continue for a maximum of 2 – 3 minutes, in which we will introduce the film genre and the opening credits to the film. The film noir techniques we use will all be set in the modern day society.
Our opening sequence will consist of firstly a fade out from a dark background and here we see a man walking, but we only see his feet walking with the opening titles appearing along with this. the man then stops walking leans against a post and he crosses his feet over in a relaxed manner. the camera will then tilt upwards to uncover a man, in a trilby, half covering his face, to bring in this element of mystery, sinister music is played along with this. Also we can see cigar smoke coming from his mouth, the camera follows the trail of smoke to look at the white bridge that he is standing by, we then hear the amplified sound of footsteps. The camera cuts to an extreme close up of a woman’s heels walking down the footbridge, the man also starts walking up the foot bridge and we only get a shot of his feet. An extreme close up of a note is then passed from the man to the women and the woman says ‘ she wants to see you now. ‘ We do not see who this women is through this first clip.
The camera then cuts to the scene in a new up to date with technology office. The camera shows a point of view shot from someone who is opening the door of the office, the man who we see in the first clip, he is starring of the back of a chair which is placed behind a desk, there is a lit lamp, paperwork, ash tray and half a class of wine with lipstick on. The chair spins around to reveal a women in which we saw passing the note in he first scene, the women is dressed in a long dark coat, smoking.
The women sees the man, a different man to before, A shot from here point of view of his feet and tilting is then used, this is to show that she is attracted to the man and along with the tilt shot, in cuts some quite seductive music to represent this idea of the ideal femme fatale characteristic in which in classic film noir films have such as we see at the beginning of sin city, when the women gets shot. Except this time there is a slight twist; it’s the gorgeous man in who attracts the women at the beginning of this short beginning.
