I feel my media product, 'Noir' challenges forms of real media products. It is like no other films recently produced. When we were in the researching stage, we found it really hard to find very similar films. It fits into the mystery/horror catergory. Films I researched as I felt were most similar and appropriate included 'Seven' (1995). I feel the way our film would continue (though I havent really thought of what would happen next) would in some ways reflect aspects of Seven or 'Se7en'.When you begin to watch our production, the black and white makes it have an old, vintage feel but it has a modern day twist. Obviously members of my group were acting so the age of them makes it feel young. Also the locations were just streets and the inside of Roxanne's house. This is going to be a familiar, normal setup for the audience to watch. Because of that I think they would not be expecting the film to be a horror, film's of this genre have spooky surroundings such as big, empty, derelict mansions in the middle of a forrest that hasn't been entered in 200 years, or something to that effect! In this way I feel it has challenged and developed the horror genre. However, you dont actually see what has happeed and whether Roxanne is killed by Amber. You just feel that is the obvious answer the film gives you as Amber enters Roxanne's home dodgily and from the scene with the phonecall, we know Roxanne wasn't having her friends round for an hour. The way the production ends gives away what has happened when the title of the film appears you can vividly hear the gunshot. It basically spells it out to you!
