The Spirit (2008)I also looked at a very modern portrayal of the genre in the film 'The spirit' this edgy contemporary vision shows how film noir has evovled to indulge modern audiences, the block colours and shadowey lighting effects mixed with grusome imagery and crime. The film also has a very comic book style and like most comic book stories it is set in new york.
From looking at the Neo Noir genre it has shown me how the genre has changed for modern audiences and has given me ideas on how to adapt my chosen scene from Ashputtel and bring it into the 21st century, i think to accheive this my setting must be set in a urban enviroment as this will not only scream Film noir but if i used for example a loaction as New York city, it is a place audiences can relate to.
The Man That Wasn't There (2001)
It was suggested to me to look at contemporary Film Noirs, Neo Noir (neo for new)modern films that use the Noir style, with the lighting,setting, costumes and plots filled with murder and crime, but using modern techniques and a fresh clean visual image. One film that was a suggestion for me to look at was 'The Man who wasn't there' made in 2001 yet set in the 1940's, it follows the typical style of the previous films yet it seems more refined, a little bit disturbed and dark as most of the film Noir from the 40's and 50's are in some way smoothed over to cater to the audiences back then but with modern day audience they are always crying out for something new.
