Final Props

This is a spider diagram of the props that are going to be used within our production. We will use all of the key props such as the File, Phone and Money. Then use others such as the Gun, Knife and Watch to add depth to characters such as the boss in the trailer. Using lighting and shadows we will use the props to identify certain actors such as the boss having Whiskey, Watch and Phone that will establish the person who they are used by.

The Big Sleep OFFICIAL trailer

This is a classic Film Noir trailer and the film itself has a brilliant feel to it it also encompasses all of the film noir aspects that are well known such as the use of shadows and cigarette smoke to create a certain lighting effect. We are going to try to use as many of these aspects as possible in order to make our film feel like a Film Noir and not just a modern day production in black and white.

Titles in Trailer

These are the titles we chose to use for our Trailer we assessed other trailers and realized that bold text was typical of the action genre however it was also typical of the Film Noir genre as i knew from my research of the Big Sleep and Tron therefore our Titles retain Film noir aspects as well as Action

The Basics of Lighting for Film Noir

 This video explains the lighting which we can use to create that classic film noir feeling for people whilst they are watching our trailer, this was a very useful tool to improve my understanding of the Film Noir genre and how lighting should be used to affect a shot. Techniques of Lighting: Low Key Lighting, Three point lighting (Fill Light,Key light and Back Light), Hard Lights(creates harsher sharper shadow), Soft lights(create a fuzzier edge because the light is scattered juxtaposition to Hard lighting)

Music

 We used Garageband to create the music for our production it is original and was composed especially for our production in order to incorporate an action element but also retain some film noir aspects. It includes a bass guitar, snare drum and synthesizer.
