This fan site allows me to grasp more of an idea on what the original Film Noir are like compared to new versions. Throughout this section of the project I can look back at it to help with references.

History of Film Noir

Film Noir literally means ‘Film Black’ in French. The films themselves are often full of pessimism, fatalism, menace, and cynical characters. It was originally a term used by French film critics to describe dark American detective and thriller films that followed the war put out in cinemas. Nino Frank was first to use the term in 1946 about films such as ‘Double Indemnity’, which was realised in 1944.

Film noir that we all know today developed during and after the second world war as it was a time in which a lot of the things which were shown in the films may have actually been going on. Producers took advantage of this as they created an almost hype with audiences thought England, America and France. This is said to have been the ‘Golden era’ for Film Noir.

‘Toy Story 2’ Production & Planning Proof

These pictures are to show our work developing, the first two are notes that we made during filming and the second are screenshots of all of the video footage that we have.

Sweded Film Planning

I am in a group of three with Holli Clark and Charlie Norman to make a Sweded film. We have all decided to make ‘Toy Story 2’ because it’s a classic Disney film that is recognized by millions of people. The characters are all quite distinctive so it should be quite fun to emphasize the their personalities.
