Film Noir notes - This gun is for hire

In the first session with Faye we learnt what 'Generic Convention' meant. Generic Convention is basically things that turn up in a genre. Afterwards, we then watched 10-15 minutes of a film, 'This gun is for hire' this film was filmed in 1947. The film was Black and white themed, we had to write down things that happened in the film. I noticed that in the film, they used varies of different shots, this made the film a lot more dramatic. They used different sorts of background music that matches with the scene this helped the certain scenes more realist. As said the film was based in 1947 so everybody in the film was dressed very old fashioned and women wasn't treated as equally as men were.

The film mainly has diegetic sound as well as the non diegetic sound being in the background music.


Afterwards we got into pairs and we got given some notes and we had to put them into two groups. The two groups were - genetic conventions of film Noir, and the other not genetic convention of film Noir, We had to split 21 notes into two groups to which we thought were suitable for which group - here is what me and Taylor decided -
