Analysis of Noir clip watched in class TOUCH OF EVIL
- Shadows, especially when the bomb is planted in the car
- Whole first scene was completed in a single shot
- Conveys racial discrimination and injustice throughout the story
- A lot of background noise throughout the film, to further express the fast paced, hectic atmosphere
- Many shots were filmed at low angles
Analysis of Noir clip watched in class SIN CITY
- 'Sin City / Pleasantville' effect used, where only one color is accented in a scene and the rest of the scene is in black and white. An example would be the woman in the red dress and red lipstick standing on the roof of the building whilst everything else is in black and white
- Sounds of sirens and gunshots can be heard throughout the clip, which conveys the theme/genre of crime/thriller, which is a key factor of film Noir
- Made use of the inverted graphic silhouette effect
