Analysis of a Film Noir/Neo Noir film...

As part of my research into Film Noir I analysed a Film Noir. In order to get a better understanding of the the entire genre I decided to analyse a Neo Noir film rather than a cllasic Noir to see how the regular conventions can be challenged or twisted to create a new style in case I wished to do this with my project. The film I chose to analyse was 'Chinatown'.

I learnt a lot from analysing a film about the elements I may want to incorporate into my film and which conventions I might choose to challenge. This would help me create and develop my project.
