FILM ASSIGNMENT:

Film Noir 3-5 minute film-groups of your choice-CHOOSE WISELY!

Black and white
High contrast
Music/Audio is key
Usually is a detective situation or a story of crime
Fear, mistrust, bleakness, loss of innocence, despair and paranoia are readily evident in noir

Classic film noir developed during and after World War II, taking advantage of the post-war ambience of anxiety, pessimism, and suspicion. It was a style of black and white American films that first evolved in the 1940s, became prominent in the post-war era, and lasted in a classic "Golden Age" period until about 1960.  Strictly speaking, film noir is not a genre, but rather the mood, style, point-of-view, or tone of a film. It is also helpful to realize that 'film noir' usually refers to a distinct historical period of film history.
