Neo-noir (Translated as 'New Black') is a style often seen in modern motion pictures and other forms that prominently utilize elements of film noir, but with updated themes, content, style, visual elements or media that were absent in films noir of the 1940s and 1950s.
To understand key features of the Neo Noir genre, we looked at clips in class of 3 films classed as the Neo Noir genre. We also made notes throughout watching these clips to identify typical and non-typical aspects which helps us determine what makes the Neo Noir different to the Noir genre itself.
Our first film we watched was 1974 - The Red Riding Trilogy
Our second film was Bladerunner - set in 2019
The final film was Bound- set in 1990
When making our opening title sequence we will have to introduce the genre to the audience. Neo Noir will be a possibility for our OTS but we will have to compare the typical and non-typical characteristics with our own in order to find a fitting genre.
