These are just a few images we have taken from other

movies that we would like some of the scenes to look 

like in the trailer of this movie.

0 We could use similar shots to these which came from

the film “The Third Man”, these would be used in a

chase scene when we flick 

through some action scenes.

0 We want to use a shot similar to this as it shows the

characters reflection in the mirror, which seems to be

a effective shot. Also this is a key feature in the Film

Noir genre.

0 We would like a similar shot to this one. With the use

of the rain and the black and white colouring I think it 

is effective in showing the mood of the film through

the trailer.

0 This is what we want when

the man is drinking alone,

but we would like the two

main characters to be

standing by each side of 

him. We would like a

similar expression on his

face too.

0 With this shot we would like it to be in black and

white and we would like a more mysterious look in

the woman’s eyes. Also the woman will be in more

make up.

0 We would like similar scenes to these, a slight view of 

the message on the body and the detective looking at 

it.
