This is a question for anyone out there who manages to read this. If you could have any 1 song to sum up how you got through High School, or any song that helped you get though your teenage years, please state so as a reply to this thread.
For me, it would have been: "The Music" with "Turn out the Lights", even though it was released AFTER I had left school, it summed up my teenage years in 5 minutes.
Film Noirs were mostly made in Hollywood during the 1940's and 1950s and usually consist of cynical or dark themes.
Often the story of Noir films revolve around a troubled hero, who cannot forget the mistakes he has made in his past. This all usually takes place in a dark alley, or a dimly lit Private Eye's office. And no doubt, our hero of the story is confronted with an inevitable death, but finds the redemption he sought for his mistakes in his demise.
They are usually filmed in black and white, with a strong use of shadows and strange camera angles to show the inner struggles the characters are having with themselves. The Noir influence can be found in many movies around the world; most notably those from Japan and Europe. A fine example of the Noir genre would be Frank Miller's Sin City.
I hope this helps, Cassandra.
Thank you Jarrod H, for this question.
A "Master Shot" is a single shot of a scene that takes in the entire action of the scene from beginning to end, usually a wide shot of the scene taking place. This then helps with any further problems in the editing suite regarding continuity or actions being removed. Then, camera crews will set up their close-ups and mid-shots for the scene.
Sometimes, scenes rely on Master Shots to relay more information about a scene. For example, a young couple may be having an argument in a parked car. Finally, once they have made up their differences, they kiss briefly and a Master Shot reveals they are in fact perched on Lover's Lane.
