notes on neo noir...

'Blade Runner'
typical things to expect from noir films...
  • most people were smoking.
  • chiaroscuro lighting, dark and dull lights. 
  • sepia filter, monochrome, similar colours, yellows browns.
  • narration from main charicter,
  • chrime reporter, anti hero.
untypical things to expect from noir films...
  • guitar based bacl in sounds, in other noirs it is a violin for more suspence,
  • usually set in urban areas (citys)
  • shows blood
  • more camera angles.
Mullholland Drive...
typical things to see in a noir film...
  • smoking
  • slow transitions
  • femme fatale was strong now seems week and scared
  • lots of shadows
  • urban area
untypical things to see in a noir film... 
  • no male antihero just two femme fatalles.
