This presetation of the slideshare website is very helpful and relevant because it mentions the key conventions of film noir and explains the charicters, lighting and main events of the film genre. I learnt from this presentation the main years of the film noirs prime.
It helps me to understand the key conventions of film noir and how the charicters are manipulated, to how we view them as a charicter.
This slide has helped me to understand that for my introduction my group need to use chirosuro lighting to emphisise the dark and the light in the charicter.

target audience and effect models for our OTS...
Our target audience for our film is social classes C2 and D grade males between 18-35 years old. This is because we believe that our film will be gory, violent, aggressive, threatening, intimidating, unsettling. We believe that our film will have a BBFC rating of either a 15 rating film or 18 depending the amount of violence we include in our scene.
We believe that our audience will follow the detectives hoping the murderer is caught out by them, the audience wants the criminal to be caught. Our effect models are the reception theory(The meaning of a "text" is not inherent within the text itself, but the audience must elicit meaning based on their individual cultural background and life experiences). Or uses and gratifications (People are not helpless victims of mass media, but use the media to get specific gratifications (Diversion, personal relationships, personal identity and surveillance).
Our film will go against every day rules and go with the oppositional hegemonic, the detective(s) will end up being the people they are hunting.

micro essay on genre conventions...
film noirs key conventions are that the man(antihero) who is drawn in by the femme fatalle.
the antihero is usually in the profession of an ex military man, policeman, boxer usually a respectable man.
The femme fatalle is a woman who has seductive powers over the antihero.
in film noirs they use a lot of contrasting light to show emotion it also portrays the good and bad in the character shown in the lighting.they use a lot of dutch, low, wide, angle shots also show the characters in one or more mirrors in the film so they can see what they have become and how they have changed, also the regretful decisions they have made in the past.
The main iconography of film noir is...
-trilby hat
-cigarette/cigar
-dark rooms/alleys
-alcohol
-guns (revolver)
-trench coats
they go against the transgression of the social normality of the surrounding area. such as the antihero you would not expect then to kill for love but in most old film noirs they do but are unfairly used by the femme fatalle.
the most common places for scenes in a film noir to be set are in urban areas such as bars, night clubs or gambling dens.

When is it? History of film noir
film noir was a genre in its prime in the 1940's-60's.
Film Noir (literally 'black film or cinema') was coined by French film critics (first by Nino Frank in 1946) who noticed the trend of how 'dark', downbeat and black the looks and themes were of many American crime and detective films released in France to theatres following the war, such as The Maltese Falcon 1941, Murder, My Sweet (1944), Double Indemnity 1944, The Woman in the Window (1944), and Laura 1944. A wide range of films reflected the resultant tensions and insecurities of the time period, and counter-balanced the optimism of Hollywood's musicals and comedies. Fear, mistrust, bleakness, loss of innocence, despair and paranoia are readily evident in noir, reflecting the 'chilly' Cold War period when the threat of nuclear annihilation was ever-present. The criminal, violent, misogynistic, hard-boiled, or greedy perspectives of anti-heroes in film noir were a metaphoric symptom of society's evils, with a strong undercurrent of moral conflict, purposelessness and sense of injustice. There were rarely happy or optimistic endings in noirs.
