Essay Question- Has Italian Neo-realism influenced Film Noir?

The reason for choosing this question is because it is an interesting topic to look at the influence of Film Noir over the years following the war and how its styles have influenced the future of Film Noir. Also i believe it is a much more interesting area to discuss as there are many opposing factors that can refute Italian Neo-realism influence which makes it easier to write about as i am able to talk about other influences that either provide strong evidence or not. I have also chosen to do the 20 key frames still for my 5 minute sequence in relation to my essay question.

• A synopsis

• A written script for the non-filmed sequence

• A treatment

• A recce report

• Evidence of casting considerations

• Layouts for the 20 key frame stills

• A risk assessment.
