Year 12 Main Task Film Noir - Montoya Downfall - First Edit

Film Noir - Risk assessment

Film Noir - Shooting pictures/Info

This is our team setting up our shoot, we didn't really face many problems expect trying to hide the sockets from the cameras view and also moving all the tables and chairs in the correct position so we can film appropriately. However we found the cameras and all our shots easy to place and found all the lighting and everything else efficient and easy which saved us bags of time. 

Preliminary Task - Camera Skills

Some benefits of using a tripod:

• Camera in a precise position
• Reduces the risk of camera blur due to free hand shooting
• Using a tripod makes for easier shooting as it allows you to do certain aspect such as pans and tilts easier

Some benefits of using multi cameras:

• It makes filming the 180 degree rule easier
• It will speed up filming as you dont have to use a single camera to get every shot
• Means you dont have to move the camera around to get different shots

Also in filming there is a certain rule this is called the 180 degree rule this rule requires you not to go round from side to side more than 180 degrees.

Film Noir - Character and Props

Our femme fatale was played by Emily Read. She will be wearing a black dress which fits the appearance of a conventional female character in a film noir production. Her appearance will be beautiful and striking to the audience which again fits the conventions. As important as the detectives and their hats, the femme fatale's hair needs to fit the 1940/50's look, this is key to producing a realistic attempt of film noir, it will also allow the producers to follow the typical conventions of film noir.


In Order to follow the convetions of a film noir production we must follow the males character. For our production we used what most males who acted in film noir producitons would have be it cigarettes. This is key in gaining the typical 1940/1950 look.

We Also decided that it would be appropriate if our lead character tony montoya would wear a trench coat, we all agreed that this would make our film look like it was set in the 1940/1950s which is most off all what we wanted it too look like. These are appropriate as most male characters in film noir movies would be seen wearing one.

This is a list of the props and characters typical

• femmefatales
