Year 12 - Similar Products - Anaylis of 3 openings

Film one - Touch of evil, universal, 1958:

• Opening titles - Typical White Bold Front, Easily Read by audience.
• Viewer hook - Were someone places an unknown object into the boot.
• One continous shot- Consistency of mid shots and longs shot.

What i want in my film:
In my film noir production i wish to use the traditional big bold, white fonts. Also i wish to have a hook in it, this will keep the attention of the viewers making them want to watch the whole film.  I also plan to use tradiontal long shots and mid shots, all put together in one continous shot.

Film two: Suspect , Charles Laughton, 1944

• Tradtional opening, white coloured titles.
• Traditional opening introduction music
• Long shots
• Mid shots
• Close ups

What i want in my film:
For my film noir production i wish to use close up shots but tradtionaly they do not feature. I also wish to use some tradtional music but only for the introduction as i want the main focus to be on certain characters.

Film three: Blues in the night, 1941:

• Typicaly smartly dressed, men in suits, women dressed elegantly and glamouras.
• Typical white titled introduction.
• The use of dark lighting creates tension within the audience
• Characters typically smoking cigars or cigarettes, this is stereotypical from the film noir productions.

What i want in my film:
In my film i wish the characters to be tradtionally smoking cigars and cigarettes, this is unlikely as it would be breaking the law if under 18's were used. Also i wish the characters to follow tradtion with the men dressing in suits and the women dressing elegantly in long dresses. I will also use the effect of dark ligthing as i believe it creates tension within the audience as they believe something may happen.
