Day 16

'Hard Boiled' Pen on Paper

Took me a little while to getting round to updating the text for this due to being pretty exhausted after a particularly long weekend, the main thing is the drawing was done in time.

The drawing is in reference to an idea for a short film, based on old 'Film Noir' movies, it's something I've often toyed with that idea of trying to make a short film, mainly as I have a great love for film. Talking to an old friend over the weekend the recurring notion is always that of some sort film based on the notion of the 'Hard Boiled' detective, the typical anti-hero that's become a convention in most modern day films. The reason for thinking along the lines of  Film Noir is mainly due to the style and tone of those types of films as they tend to be quite dark, also they tend not to fall into that trap that a lot of modern films can fall into by dumbing down or sign posting the outcome or resolution of the story... instead leaving you second guessing right up until the end. This is definitely something I want to look into again in the future, who knows maybe that can be next years project creating a film in 365 days?
