Sunset Boulevard (1950
)



This film has a slightly different style and plot yet from looking at it you can straight away tell its a part of the film Noir genre, it doesn't feature a inspector or a young glamorous female yet it does feature a brutal murder and a sadistic aged slient movie hollywood star and a young hansome failing screen writer, which maintains the typical plot and charatchers of previous film noirs , from this it shows that the genre can be played around with if using the basic recipe of glamour and a brutal murder teamed with a plot that intails a love story. Which creates more of an understanding of how i could apply my scene from Ashputtel as it is about a love story, the main charater is aswell a young beautiful girl, that could fit into role of the glamorous screen siren.


The Big sleep (1946)




A classic film Noir with the typical secretive detective that is Stern yet caring.The beautiful screen siren that's glamorous,clever and being dragged into a crimianl world and all this is teamed with high impact lighting and clever use of setting and sleek, stylish costumes.

    There's a couple of nice contemporary film noirs you may be interested in - Wong Kar Wai's excellent 'Chungking Express' (esp. the first half) and the Coen brothers' 'The Man Who Wasn't There'.
    Let's see some designs posted here now!
