In a Lonely Place - Trailer

The trailer for 'In a Lonely Place' another big inspiration for creating a parody of film noir, note the characters costumes and attitude, plus some of the acting in the trailer seems somewhat over-the-top and easy to parody. The camera angles in the cabaret club around 30 seconds into the trailer are a good example of what I would need to use in my own film.

The use of the terms 'Suspense in the night!' 'Intrigue at dawn!' and 'Suspicion 'round the clock!' give way to the depth and narrative of the film as mysterious, a plot that will keep an audience hooked by continuously having them guessing about who could possibly be a murderer. With suspence, intrigue and suspicion all playing key roles in the plot, I find this to be a critically important source for my own film which is also centered around a murder.
