Links to fan-site

I researched into film noir fan sites, and came across some interesting sites which are still active today, showing me that film noir is in fact still popular in the present day. Researching enabled me to enhance my understanding of the conventions of the genre, representations of characters and different ways in which directors and film-makers have challenged or amplified generic pleasures and conventions.

This site is useful for people who aren't very knowledgeable on this genre and is open to a wide variety of people. I liked this site because it offered a simple layout and was very straight forward, it also included links to other sites which the audience may find helpful to browse and it also felt very open to people who don't know a lot about film noir.

This site seems more professionally designed, and seems to have a lot more of the facts, this site seems more reliable to collect facts and information from, the only thing i found with this site was that it featured slightly more difficult language to previous sites i've visited.

This site follows the conventional layout and colour scheme of film noir's, I really like this site because it was so easily accessible, i found it easy to use and find what i was looking for however i did find this site very basic in parts, with not a lot of information to offer.
