As Morrighan and I have created a very complex narrative, our teacher suggested that we compare ours to film noir films with similarly complicated narratives to analyse how they present their narrative and characters in a way which is easy to follow. She suggested the research the films L.A. Confidential (which I have analysed/compared) and Memento (which Morrighan has analysed and compared).
L.A. Confidential analysis and comparison:
Memento analysis and comparison:
From this research, I have gained more confidence in presenting a complicated narrative and characters, and we will consider presenting them in a similar way to these films. As L.A. Confidential has quite an ambiguous opening sequence due to the use of a montage which is irrelevant at times, and a monologue which can be misleading, yet still manages to introduce its complicated narrative, I no longer think that our opening sequence should be more explanatory, as it would be unnecessary for our audience and would lessen the enigma we are creating. I am pleased that there are many similarities with the clips of our opening sequence and L.A. Confidential's, as this could be interpreted as intertextuality, making the opening sequence more interesting, and also shows that it is a professional way of presenting the opening sequence.
