Intertextual Links

Our film has a few links to a range of existing films of both genres. The dull colouring rather than black and white is similar to the effect in the film Daybreakers as this gave the impression it was black and white but actually certain colours were predominant especially red when it showed blood this is something we want to show. Also our idea is similar to show films and programmes like Angel and even Blade so there are again similar aspects of the synopsis and plot in our film, Also we want to make our central protagonist a very much stereotypical film-noir detective so this will be similar to Humphrey Bogart with a trench coat, trilby hat and smoking cigarettes like done in films like The Maltese Falcon or The Dark Passage.
However our plot is different to many of the films named as it is a British film-noir which is not as common compared to the amount of American and French film-noir movies. Howevercertain examples of British film-noir's are Brighton Rock starring Richard Attenborough or The October Man starring John Mills.
