The film The Last Seduction and the start has a title sequence where the actors and company producers are displayed this is about a minute long with a dark background and white writing as the titles, this is accomplished with digetic music in the background. The film cuts into the narrative as a shot of a demon stone statue overlooking a city, which i believe is new york, the digetic background music is carried on into the narrative of the start of the music this is a typical start of a noir film. During the introduction the staff behind the film are shown in the bottom left in white type. It then cuts to a scene in an office, with a woman giving the order this being a emergent idea which is also typical of a noir film. The woman is first at mysterious to her as at first you can not see her face as it is blocked and then she comes into the light to be able to see her face. She speaks with a powerful and commanding voice, and takes control of other men in the room. There is then a a cutaway to a man with briefcase, making what seems to be a deal of drugs for cash. Then it is cut back away to the woman and another emergent idea of her being in control with cash. The man then looks to be ripped of and the two man with the gun are powerful over him which is another residual idea showing that noir films are based of digetic music with emergent and residual ideas.
In my group of 3, Amy Gwynn, Joanne Paige we have a range of ideas for my first ideas, I'm reasonably certain that the genre i will be attempting is that of a noir genre, after disussing a range of other genre such as horror, action and murder. From this point I do not know what sort of individual film types I will have inside of the noir background, I put forward to the group the idea of a murder mystery and of a general noir film type of prostution therefore the idea was put forward to combine the ideas into a sort of murder prostution film with a noir murder genre. We decided on the nir film type due to the different ideas we could follow by using this and also the fact it is not a regular genre so therefore it will be different from other films.
The idea of this clip is taken from something that seems like an everyday thing but has another meaning when looked at in detail. This is of a normal morning but the extreme close ups and shallow depth of fields shows an element of violence.
The quick editing and jump cuts of him eating his breakfast emphasises the violence within this every day activity. The way he tears his food apart could be seen in a murderous way when shown close up, however if this was a normal shot, we wouldn't think twice about it. Their are two versions of this short clip, the first one we watched had a piece of music that matched with the darkness of the camera shots. The music was intense reflect this idea, however in the second one, the music was a lot more upbeat, making it seem happier and allowing us to look deeper into the camera shots. This juxtaposition has reflected the idea of the title in the way that it seems like nothing is wrong until you look closer.
On the majority of films there is the titles where the actors of the films names are displayed in small text overlaying the scene setting of the title sequence. The genre of the films and the themes are all shown right at the start of the film and are made very clear in the title sequence through various enigma codes. In London To Brighton there is louder music to title then in the narrative of the film to show the beginning of the actual film. In the film in search of a midnight kiss there is a narrative of flashbacks into time. The film Brick was shown in a noire type of filming and the narrative was back in time. The last film we looked at, Kickass had narration in the background with a digetic background as into brought you into the film the background digetic music cut out and the film went into the narrative.
