film presentation
TRANSCRIPT
Genre hybrid
My film consists of four genres
I intend to successfully blend them together to create a flowing and continuity style to my piece.
First concept
Old Horror film with a twist
Film noir
• Film noir is associated with a low-key black-and-white visual style that has roots in German Expressionist cinematography.
• My two characters will be placed under a lamp post in a low lit street for the first scene.
• The score will cosist of brass music creaing a sultry mood.
Horror
• My horror scene will have an element of the old 1920s silent films.
• Creating distorted and exaggerated shadows on the gravestones
Action/chase
•Fast cutting editing creating suspense
•Rapidly changing camera angles
Twist ending
At the end of my film there will be a twist ending. Throughout my piece i will be building up tention and creating suspence then releasing it with a comical twist
