Film Noir
313 (2006)
ANALYSIS
The camera adheres to CU's throughout the piece in order to allow the audience to connect with the characters. There is the ocassional LS, this is done in order to let the audience settle into the environment. Fades are used in order to suggest a change in time and place. Overall the editing adhers to straight cuts mainly in order to create continuity. There is a high pitched background music that creates a suspicious atmosphere, conventional for the film noir genre. There is predominantly a voice over throughout, which is also a main convention for this genre. However, when the female hostess is introduced, the music blends into a more seductive soundtrack. This can be reinforced by the soft lighting she gets and the high angle which is what most of the "femme fatales" receive in Film Noir. The mise-en-scene also adhered to the conventions of the genre. The director has included, cigarettes, gambling, smoke. these all help to reinforce teh genre and give the genre its own verisimilitude.
