All the New York footage!

I have just finished editing together the footage from New York and fitting it in with my film sequence. I have also added the music for my film footage which is now over the two different sections. The beginning song is blue and green by Miles Davis and the second song is Hitchcock Starlet by The Horrorpops. I have used the same editing technique on the New York footage that I did on the opening which meant that certain colours could be picked out such as the red of a sign and the yellow of a cab. I also created an opening title screen with the film title on it. This is in a deep red colour as well with lace overlay which I thought was appropriate after the first scene and with the main storyline of the sequence. I am now working on the voice overs to go over the footage which is another convention of the film noir genre and will help the non-linear storyline make sense. I have scripted the first voice over for the opening which explains about the main characters death. The second one explaining where she is going still needs scripting. The voice over is the main characters narration of the story even though she is technically dead throughout the movie. I used this after seeing 'Sunset Boulevard' by Billy Wilder in which the main character is dead at the beginning and narrates his story from beyond the grave. I have also been looking at the Woody Allen film 'Manhattan' for ideas on how to narrate my New York travel scene by bringing in what's happening in the scene with what is being said. I am using a book of film noir information to try and recreate some more hard boiled dialogue and use the correct terms and phrases that are popular of that genre.
