The genre our group was given was Film Noir. We aimed to make a scene about a dangerous femme fatale and her love interest, while staying in line with typical narrative conventions of the film noir genre such as murder and corruption. I think we were fairly successful in achieving the look and style of what we were aiming for, however I think the use of the background music combined with the use of some slow motion shots and the dead body, which are also conventions of horror as well as film noir meant that the scene could almost be mistaken for a horror if the viewer wasn't aware that we had intended it to be a film noir. I believe this issue could have been rectified if we had had more time to complete the project and specifically if we had had more time to film extra shots to use in our film which could have expanded the plot of our clip and better expressed the genre we were aiming for, unfortunately we didn't get the chance because of members of the group being absent on the day we had extra time to do so. I believe that as a group we could also have cooperated and organized ourselves alot better as there was alot of confusion while filming as to what the actual plot of what we were filming was going to be due to poor organization during the time we had to storyboard and plan the scene.
