Feminist Theories in Noir

The feminist theories can really work in noir films. For example we can have Laura Mulvey because we see that men are mostly the centre of the plot. While women in noir play mostly supporting role rather than main role.

They sometimes act as weak while male characters are portrayed strong physically.

Critical Question 2

How does my product engage with my audience? Well firstly it’s important to find out what my audience is. They are people who are very likely to enjoy the thriller genre films and their age somewhere between the teen age and early 30’s, possibly middle class people because they can understand the pain which main character feels.

Cinemascope

Cinemascope is an anamorphic process that compresses an image during filming and uncompresses it when projected. The process involves squeezing a wide image onto 35mm film so that it fits the physical celluloid's square frame. With the help of anamorphic projection lenses, this image is then unsqueezed, allowing for the full width of the image to be displayed. In the early days of cinema, French inventor Henri Chretien created and patented an anamorphic lens that could be used for motion pictures. However, back in the 1920's and 1930's, no one was really interested. That all changed in early 1950's, when motive studios were losing their audience to the rise of television. It was convenient, could be enjoyed at home and provided the same entertainment value as movies. However, in 1952, ''This Is Cinerama'', which displayed a widescreen image with three cameras and three projectors was becoming a smash hit across the country, albeit in limited theatres. ...
