What it takes to make a noir film part 2



   First, you need a very well written script, that can help the ease of the people following the story.
The setting should take place in a city where its filled with crime,gangsters, etc. The cops are crooked and there is no justice for anyone. Which is why I like stories based around comic book; like the shadow or even the early days of of Detective Comics. Which has the first appearance of Batman, but sadly there aren't only a few comics that are based around the noir genre.


  Second, the important part is choosing the right actor and actress. I would like to choose actors like Bruce Willis to actress kim basinger. Because you need an actor would can truly take on the character, he or she will be acting. A really good example of a visual/film/video game, I have heard of is called LA Noire. Its the first game thast theme is based around a neo-noir story.


 The story is set in 1940s los angeles, and the main character you play who is a young beat cop. In which you rise threw the ranks of patrol, traffic, homicide, vice, and arson of the police department. But at the same time he is haunted by his past from serving in marines fight in the pacific theater. I really don't want to give to much of the story away. Because its really long story, when I first heard about the game being made. The story was mixed with different elements from a few films(The Naked City and Chinatown). And the novel LA Confidential written James Elroy.


What makes these films different from the others, film noir set no limits. It shows you what truly life was like a cop chasing down bad guys. Or gangsters hunting down cops for interfering with their racketing. Like in the recent film of Gangster Squad(2013) about a group of cops who bend the rules to get there man. That guy is the notorious gangster Mickey Cohen, its the type of film that takes elements from the film the untouchables(1987) and an old article from the 1940s los angles times. But over all it was interesting film to watch, with an amazing cast.The setting was fully shot all over los angles county.
