Today we started film noir and watched 10 minutes of this gun is for hire that was made in 1947. We then looked into generic conventions and took notes about any we noticed in the film noir genre. I noticed that the theme was black and white filtered, the men where smartly dressed in suits, there was some sort of violence involved including death and also weapons involved. I also noticed that there was no trust and the film involved a deal/money. I noticed that the men treated woman unequally and different to how the men would get treated. I'm thinking that when the film was made the men had more power than the women.
We then paired up and had to match the statement with the right title, whether it was not a generic convention of film noir or whether it was. This helped me understand more with what is involved in a film noir genre. I got the majority of them right anyways but I learnt from the mistakes we made and i know why they was a mistake. This was our guesses for matching them together.
