Watch either a War film made in the last 25 years or a Neo-Noir film from the list, Neo Nior Films 1982 – 1999.pdf . (It cannot be your favorite movie.)
If you watched a War film, what does it have in common with the War films in the Week Five content? If you watched a Neo-Noir film, what does it have in common with the Film Noir films in the Week Five content (other than being in color)?
How does color play a part in the film you watched for this week? Identify at least three places in which color stood out in the film.
Does there seem to be a predominant color, or does a color seem to be missing from the film? If so, what is that color, and do you think it had an impact on the film? If so how, and if not, why not?
If you did not see a predominant color or a color that seems to be missing from the film, describe an additional place where color plays a part.
