Film Noir - Brief

For the Film Noir project I need to produce two outcomes (a movie poster and a timeline).

Movie Poster
  • Poster should be made of a couple of photographs, with a picture of main characters being the biggest one, and actors' names as well as movie title written over them
  • It can be either in color or black and white, however color posters are more appealing to the audience
  • Poster should include some of symbols characteristic for film noir movies, like guns or specific kind of clothes
  • It should also suggest subject matter of the movie, which, for film noir usually is romance and crime
Timeline
  • Slow or moderate speed transitions between photographs with tweening function used to make the transitions smooth
  • Black and white, high contrast photographs
  • Music appropriate for film noir style movies
  • Scene in cafe or restaurant (alternatively a table outside), with two characters (female and male) sitting and drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes (inside of cafe can be seen in the background)
  • First person perspective shots
  • Low angle portraits
  • Wide angle shot of a woman (femme fatale), dressed in a pretty dress and lying on a bed
  • Cigarette smoke clearly visible on photographs
  • Silhouettes of characters
  • Shot in a room/small office, with dim daylight coming through blind, creating characteristic pattern on character's face
  • Female character blowing cigarette smoke on a male character while sitting in a cafe
