2nd film self reflection Noir sequence

The second time around the film turned out to be reasonable ok, especially compared to the first. This time we had sound, in fact we had a voiceover, a short voiceover of roughly 6 lines that described what was happening, barely. I wrote part of the script as a joint effort with one of my partners within the group. The story of this film was also created as a joint effort with all of us, we all contributed in some way. The conventions we used were a voiceover, femme fatale and we attempted a black and white filter but it didn't go well so we just ignored that. We also used the conventions for the plot, a detective, called in on a murder and has to solve the case. We had an over the shoulder shot that we used to switch from the detective to the femme fatale, a tracking shot of the detective chasing the femme fatale, a tilt to show the detective inspecting the body, a low angle of the femme fatale to show dominance and villainous and an extreme close up of the detective's eye, . We used the convention of the snappy dialogue in the voice over to add to the Neo noir feel of the film. My part in the was i acted a the detective, very poorly, I really wasn't a great actor, never have been, never will be, I tried to get this done as best i could and the film turned out better than before. Overall, the film was better than my last but still really wasn't great. We struggled with the plot as none of us was really liked the noir genre and hadn't watched much so we all just put random ideas together and ended up with this and to be honest, it shows that there wasn't much planning.
