similar products - film noir

I am going to analyse three noir films and pick out parts which i believe would go well in my film.
i have analysed this video and i believe that there ae key conventions which i have to add into my production. to begin with, the film would have to be in black and white so that it fits in to all noir films.
the male characters would have to wear suits to look like real men but not only this the hero must look attractive and have morals. all characters would smoke as in the past, smoking was thought of as cool and attractive and also was heavily advertised. the female would have to be also very attractive and the middle of the story line driving the conflict. as you can see from this video, the men are fighting over the women through jelousy and this is a reason which i want to add into my film. not only this but the women would have to dress glamerous to look spoilt and rich. i would use shadows to make it look eary and that they are sneaking up on something.
this is a modern version of a noir film but have got confussed with the use of propps. in this video they use technology such as cash machines and the internet which was not invented 50 years ago at this level. however, i want to try and get the accent american style as english is not conventional. also the inspector is a convention as it shows the good trying to solve crimes and problems which is usually the drive of the narrative involving murder and gangs. not only this but i will try and base the film within a city to symbolize a maze full of crime.
this last video basically just sums up what a have said i would like to include within my film. these are:
- black and white
- men wearing suits
-smoking is thought of as cool
-gambling and crime
all the villains will care about is money and how they looked upon such as looking powerful, while others will show morals such as caring to show that they are good driving a conflict between the two.

now i am going to move onto analysing noir posters.
from this poster you can see that the main focus is the middle man. who looks very attract holding a cigarette and in a suit. the back ground is black that suggests he is surrounded by evil and cime which always evolves round him. also the man holding the gun implicates he wants to cause harm to others especially the middle character as the gun is focused on him aswell as his eyes. this also symbolizes good vs evil and villains vs heroes. the to females suggest that the conflict is about them maybe because of jelousy.
it makes the audience want to watch it because you know that there is going to be a conflict with crime between two of more characters. this appeals to males because it is crime but also women would watch it because it involves comance with the females.




 this next poster involves just 2 characters who are surrounded by darkness. the use of shadows makes it earing and also the two of them close shows they are in love. the male is attractive and shows morals as he is going infront of the women to protect her which shows they are good people. the women is very attractive and obviously if the man is protecting her it means that they are after the women which shows fighting over romance.
this would appeal to a male audience becasue it also shows violence as he has a weapon meaning he is fighting for survival and for his love.
women would appeal to this because it shows romance how a man is willing to die to save his love.
