Welcome to the Notes Section!
Each page contains a subnavigation bar (left) that will link you to other film notes, a reference bar (right) which contains links to aspects, articles, films, and possibly other notes that are referenced in the current page. The main content has my notes on the professor's lecture and PowerPoint Presentation on each film that we have watched this semester.
To navigate the subnavigation bar to your left notice that it is divided into three drop down menus: First Four, Classic Noir, and Neo Noir. The 'First Four' category contains the notes on film noir itself as well as containing Borde and Chaumeton's first four film noirs. The 'Classic Noir' category contains the rest of the classical film noirs, as the 'Neo Noir' category contains the newer noirs - those created after film noir was finally identified and the elements were defined enough to recreate the film elements. Some film noirs, such as The Long Goodbye are parodies while others (Strange Days) use and combine film noir elements with other genres to make a statement.
