Generic Conventions (Film Noir)

On the Left there are notes that i have taken after watching the movie 'This Gun for Hire'.






One of the generic concepts that are in the film noir genre, would be the amount of shadows within the movie for example the objects within the movie would have a hard shadow in contrast to the soft shadows castes by the actors.

Another generic concept would be the acceptably of hitting women in every day life. This is because the time period where the movie took place was '1942'. The next generic



The next thing we did in this lesson was to find out the generic ideas in film noir by making a list with either generic or non-generic we did this by getting a A3  sheet then divided it in to two sections for sorting the small rectangular pieces of paper. For example one of the rectangular pieces of paper has something on it saying 'Lots of blood and gore' this isn't generic because people weren't adjusted to violence, while on other other hand 'Dark shadows' were really common.
These two picture are how we did it the one on the top are the 'generics' while the bottom is the 'non generic'



The pictures on the right are the correct answers for both 'generic' and 'non generic'
