Noir elements of opening:

Setting:

• Always dark, cold, made through dark lighting and rain, always grey.
• Constant raining
• Cold day
• Grey and dark mood
• The buildings abandoned, the detective through the rain, probably cold with two coffies on his hand.
• Involving homicides.
• City police building, looks like a prison, type of lines like a laberint.
• Showing what day is in big.
• Showing a second murdered by a newspaper
• No morality, for example when they kill Victor, how they find it, FILM NOIR.
• Abandoned house of the victim, it looks really cold 
• Library show like a laberint 

Sound:

• The sound try to give us tension
• Diagetic sounds
• Sound depends on characters 

Characters:

• Vestiment, dark colours, not colorful clothes.
• David Mills: A lot of media, more people.
• William Somerset: Dark investigation, he is alone in the investigation, this show us the different worlds that the two detectives have. 
• Switching between the two detectives to compare them
•  How Mills investigate the case, seeing photos to solve something, and how the other read and fotocopy a book to solve the crime.
• Mills do a shortcut of Dante poetry because he don´t like to read, in the other hand the other detective read all the book in the library and also do fotocopies 

Pulp Fiction comments:

Textual analysis:

-Narrative: “Chilled”/relaxed/cool

Theme(s)/ concerns/mood

Characters: Vega-drug dependary, lots of close-ups, middle of mise-en-scene, camera follows him, strange/alternative/rebellious. Dialogue about piercings, sexual pleasure, relationships between husband wife (sense of normality), ditch angle shots

Camera/sound/mise-en-scene: Music, dream-like guitars-lighting-drugs are highlighted in close up. Colours: white and red. Slow movements. Injection in slow motion

"Tree house"

Strengths:

-Music, can be in the moment that is needed and is good.
-Editing the document.

Weaknesses:

-Bad dialogue.
-Is not a theme that cautivate audience.

The production journal of "Tree house" can be good. In some parts they don´t do reflections at all stages.
The sample materials that they used, they explain where they tak from, what they used, how they put the camera to determine some shots.
They do an evaluation of the project finished and they can improve their project with more organization.

Production Journals Thursday 1st September 2011

Now, we have the film material to edit and work on it. We have the material that we film and with what we have to work to do and interesting documental about 4-5 minutes long. First, we do a copy of the material and then we work on changing B-ROLL footage. We work along an hour through this, to have our documental in the best form possible.
