This is my Neo-Noir analysis

1. Neo-Noir

2. Mise-en-scene

3. Typically it differs
from film-noir as it
sometimes in colour
with a dull filter,
just like in blade
runner.
However, misfits flips between
moments of black and white and
colour , for example when the femme
fetal does something bad her lips are
vibrant red and the rest is black and
white, this example is also used
throughout sin city. linking to sin
city.

4. At the start it was
raining just like it
was in blade
runner, this is a
typical feature for
film noir.
Sometimes instead of going to
a bar which is common in film,
in blade runner the every
man went to a sushi place
which might be trying
to emphasize how modern it is,
especially with the flying cars.
But misfits and bound kept the
tradition.

5. Narrative

6. A lot of these film start
at then end particularly
bound and red riding
which had the death and
it flashes back to the
start and it tells the
audience how it
happened.
However blade runner left the
audience confused at the start
as we are unaware of what is
going on, however it doesn't
stick to the narrative structure
of a typical noir.

7. Characters

8. The generic characters of neo-
noir are the same as film
noir, however they are played
by different ethnicity and
gender, like in bound the
every man is a woman but she
has the typical job as an every
man,
And in misfits the every man is
black which is different, because
of the historical background, black
people were seen as lower class
but now that we live in better
society the every man role is
diverse.

9. Camera And Composition

10. The camera shots again the same, apart
from they have got newer technology
to film a range of camera shots.

11. Sound

12. A lot of music were modern
twists, for example sin
city kept with the jazz genre
but
combined, electronic sounds
and classical instruments
(jazz fusion).
Misfits used pop music,
which is the most common
genre of music for that as is
jazz for the 1940s.

13. However red riding had a single acoustic guitar which
was playing quite subtle music, unconventional for film
noir as it is usually very dramatic.

14. Editing

15. The editing is fairly the same as in film noir,
however misfits have used slow motion for when the
femme fetal drops the cigarette on the floor
to emphasize the evil that she is about to do.
