Critical Theory: Using Slideshare for research purposes

Film Noir
This presentation features information on the key conventions typically found in film noirs. Not only does it talk about character and themes, it also covers the more technical aspects of the films such as lighting and sound.
This presentation gave me a simple yet concise explanation of the genre, and thus helped me to increase my understanding. It also made me aware of certain conventions that may have proved a problem when it came to do my own piece. An example of this is sound.
Through using this presentation, I can ensure my film fits the noir genre clearly, and that I include as many aspects of the conventions as possible.
