Noir Conventions:
Cigerettes, Voiceover, Light, Sepia colours, Flashbacks, Fighting, Radio Commentary lying about scene, Police, Audience questioning good vs evil (which is which), Blinds, Lamps, Face half in shadows, Slang, Mood and atmosphere change from scene to scene.
The opening scene create enigmas:
- Why are they fighting?
- Why are the police watching but not stopping the fight?
- Why was the main character not fighting?
Clothing of fighters is contrasted, Voiceover mentions binary opposite "fire and ice", The street is dark and the lighting is hightly contrasted with the street lamps and fire. The camera pulls back along the road to show the fighting and the noise fades in to shock the audience.
