Anachronisms

Because our film will have elements of the film noir era mixed with elements of the 21st Century, it will be deliberately anachronistic. We can't have too many anachronisms in case they overshadow the 1940s elements, but we can't have too few or it will look accidental.

We should use anachronisms with:
1. Costume
2. Non diegetic music
3. Some props, but not all of them

We shouldn't use anachronisms with:
1. Hair and make up
2. Diegetic sounds (phone call)

Should we use anachronisms with the dialogue or should we keep it 1940s?

  1. I think the dialogue should have modern slang in it. I think its one of the most effetive and simplist ways of signifying a teen audience

  2. Introducing a modernized dialogue would create a contrast between the 1940's and Modern time dialogue. That would create a good effect as it is what we plan on doing anyways
