Inner Monologue

In this rough cut of the phone call from Rory's point of view I have used elements of cinematography and sound to emphasise the use of the conventions of film noir in my film. The last shot of Rory shows a zoom out as Rory speaks through the use of an inner monologue. Inner Monologues are used in film noir to give the audience a form of dramatic irony, the audience will know something which characters in the play do not know themselves.




Some good Film noir examples of inner monologue are shown here, to demonstrate how effective they can be and to show the effect I am looking for:

B'rief Encounter' 1945 David Lean


'Saturday Night and Sunday morning' 1960 Karel Reisz



'Psycho' 1960 Alfred Hitchcock
