2 clips in the same genre
Our film is of a film noir crossed with post nuclear war theme, so my chosen clips are from the films Sunset Boulevard (Film noir) and Fail Safe (war)
Sunset Boulevard:
Sunset Boulevard is related to our project in the sense that it is a Film Noir, giving dark atmosphere through the script and images.The key relatable feature of this partuicular film is its minor key dramatic soundtrack and dynamic narration common in most films of the Hollywood golden age, the basic orchestra concits of at least a quartet of muscians something that would not be unresonably outlandish to recreate.

Fail Safe:
Fail Safe is directly related to our project in the sense that it is black and white, about a massive nuclear world war and follows closely with direct military decisions it and its direct imapact on the residents involved it makes use of a vast majority of shots we intend to replicate ranging from wide establishing shots to intense dynamic mid shots given the film a feeling of drama . This is very closely related to our as we have black and white iconic imagery, the storyline is of a world war and the dialogue closely follows military movements and actions.

1. Blackout, FADE IN – “President John F. Kennedy, January 20th 1961 – The world is very different now, for man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life.”
“Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.” FADE OUT.
2. Map of the world, 1962. White but blackout the communist countries.
“1962 Cuban missile crisis in which president john F Kennedy never enforced a blockade and instead conducted a military strike operation to assassinate Fidel Castro and capture communist missiles in Cuba after which installing a American democratic government at the urging of Robert Strange McNamara JFKs appointed defence secretary this was proceed by an imprisonment of Castro and communists loyalists this was preceded by intense political friction with Russian and growing communist eastern superpowers such as china north Korea.. "
3. Photo of Nikita Khruschchev followed by a photo of Russia
“The now successful communist nuclear programme led to further missile threats within the EU and UN after 6 months of political bargaining and debates multiple nuclear bunkers and installation of nuclear missile sites in which to house the population and on April 13th 1963 the Russian confederacy launched and minor nuclear strike against the British controlled Falkland Islands from their nuclear fusion testing facility in in eastern Ukraine under presidential authorization from Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev."

4. Photo of JFK and American military, followed by a photo of a nuclear bomb and a wasteland, then a vault door.
“There was political uproar from the western capitalist powers threats were made and went unanswered by the eastern communist states igniting worldwide political conflict fought in all military formats available until nuclear fire consumed what as left of the modern world those who survived took refuge in the underground vaults constructed in all the major cities across the globe each connected by suburban underground rail networks provided they were located in one of the larger cities however many vaults stood along in the waste."

5. Photo of a wasteland deserted.
"Followed by 769 years of what we believe to be post-apocalyptic nuclear winter leaving the surface uninhabitable for to the nearest calculable date since the emergence 17,894 vault metric years this would later come to be known as the Chernobyl effect."
6. Photos of within the vaults and each culture
"Those within the vaults who had endured the torments of the vaults developed the own sense of community and culture from the surviving lore growing on the fundamental principles of ancient cultures. "
7. Photo of a rebuilding society
"Upon emergence those who had survive the vaults torments discovered they were not alone in the wastes the vault tribes ventured forth to rebuild a new civilisation for the first time in millennia man endured a process and stage of growth, prosperity hope recovering more of their forefathers surviving culture."
8. Photos of new species and wastelands in the distance
"The warring tribes stood divided an fractured for many decades fighting both themselves and the monstrosities that had endured the millennia of radioactive poisoning leading to development and genetic mutation of 249 species as well as cell generation of a catalogued 78 entirely new creatures. "
