Materials for deadline of 18th April

Mood Board

Create a mood board for a 4-8 minutes film noir short film. A mood board is a collection of textures, tones, shots that may interest you. It works as a reflective board to generate ideas. It can be submitted using your computer or on paper. 

Concept

Create an idea for a 4–8 minute film noir short film. 

Your concept will typically include reference to your target audience, purpose (message, effect on audience), a plot synopsis, characters, content elements and practicalities. 

Treatment

You have been given a basic treatment template for your planning. Typically, for merit and excellence it is expected that your treatment includes the following: 

Discussing the scene breakdown, genre, characterisation, setting, mood, camera shots/movements/angles, costume, props, specific conventions to be used and technical elements such as lighting, sound, and SFX for your film. 

You may like to prepare comprehensive statements about the visual style, the editing rhythm, and the audio soundtrack that you hope to create for your short film. 

Your statements need to communicate a clear consistency of style, mood, tone and/or focus that will complement the concept you create for your film. 

Include conventions of this genre in your design that you have identified in your prior class studies of examples of the genre. This might include influences from these films that you wish to pay homage to.

The treatment could also include references to existing film noir films that might have been influences for your film. Such references count as intertextuality and can add to the layered complexity of your short film.
