Media Studies course outline

My Media Studies coursework is based on Film Noir. We have been asked to research the history of Film noir which will help our understanding. for our course we have been asked to create 3 pieces of film. The first is the premlinary exercise which is going to be used to show our understnding of framing and editing in filming. the second piece is the exchange were we have to show in film noir style the exchange of something. Finally, we have been asked to create a 2-3 minute opening of a contemporary film noir.

BRIEF OF MAIN PIECE
we are being commissioned in groups of 3 or 4 to produce a 2-3 minute film opening sequence of a "contemporary 'film noir' thriller"(certification 15-18). Our work should update the noir genre but bring the values, traditions, narrative, mood and conventions of film noir to a new audience in contemporary style and setting. We will need to consider and mention what sort of institution it would sit within and the cinemas and distribution pattern the film would have film and also where it will sit best in the televsion schedules and on which TV station it would be most suited to.

here's an example of someone's opening sequence.
