Film Noir Openings



This opening, from Touch of Evil is a great example of the peculiar shot angles used in the film noire genre. It is actually one very long shot that has no editing in to speak of. It uses the conventional lighting techniques to create a silhouette of a man which implies suspicion. Again no non-diegetic sound is being used and the music is actually diegetic from the car radio.
