The Process<\/h2>\n

The explorations project was our last project of the year and it was a chance for us to search for a skill we wanted to improve on and master that skill in the span of 4 weeks. Personally, I chose to study noir films and what made them separate from other movies. I chose this because film noir’s aesthetic is always something that’s referenced in other movies and I never knew what film noir really was. I also wanted to improve my visual literacy and my ability to self direct my own project.<\/p>\n

First was the research. In order to learn how to master our topic we had to research a fair amount online and elsewhere. I researched on different websites what noir film was and I also watch some noir films like The Maltese Falcon,<\/em>\u00a0Shock Corridor, <\/em>and Double Indemnity<\/em>. With all this research I developed a concrete understanding of what constitutes as noir film.<\/p>\n

Next was my demonstration of my mastery of the skill: my product. I chose to make a hypothetical scene from a noir film that encapsulates what noir film is all about.<\/p>\n\n
