Pre Production -The new final main task-

'You will make the titles and opening of a new film noir movie of which has to last a maximum of two minuets. you will also be required to produce a DVD complete with box, cover and directors extras including a making of section'

Organisation 
Between me and fellow media studies student in the parallel class to my own have organised to produce the movie and extras between the two of us. (Chris Hales)  We have previously both worked with one another when completing our GCSE opening movie for a horror movie of which we both worked well together completing our GCSE task successfully to a good standard. The only problem however is that we wont be able to work with one other within lessons due to having them at different times, however if we keep good communication and update each other regularly on tasks we need to do between us we should be able to produce a high quality Film Noir opening.

Positives of working within a small group is that it will be easy to track the work which we complete between us. It will also be easy to exchange ideas and should be easier to organise and produce shooting schedules which revolve around the both of us.


Plan of action for research



Before we produce and evaluate anything we need to do some in-depth research in what ingredients makes a film Noir movie. In all the clips I research I will analyse the following;

• Mise-en-scene
• Music
• Storyline/plots
• The names of characters
• Props and costume of the characters
• Lighting
• Dialogue and speech style

All this research we do will be essential in making the Film Noir opening movie we are producing successful. We will join together the conventions within all the example clips and produce something original but of which follows all the typical conventions.
