NARC
NARC is a crime film based on illegal drug trading, involving corrupt police officers. The film was directed and written by Joe Carnahan and released in 2002. The cinematic techniques used in the film are very unique and remarkable.
One of the most remarkable part of the film is the opening sequence. The opening sequence is a chasing scene where the actor is running after someone through the streets. Since the hand-held camera shot is used, the audience connects to the scene right away.

Use of blue filter and low lighting method also brings up the significant difference between a dream from the memory and real life.
Performance:
Henry Oak, one of the major characters, is presented as a short-tempered police officer. His performance gives the audience hints of him having a brutal past, later it is shown that his family was killed. Although he is very emotional, but he acts to be very tough and strong.
Sound:
Loud and violent non-digetic sound is used in most part of the film. There are a few split scenes with loud music which relates to the situation and has a greater impact on the audience as they would be able to connect themselves to the film. Fast paced non-digetic sound is used during all the action and suspenseful scenes.
Lighting:
The lighting of this film is very dim and dark. This represents evil and unlawful events that have been taking place in the film. Bright lighting technique is also used at some scenes where it represented happiness for the characters. For example, when Henry Oak was talking about his family, he went to flashback where the lighting was very bright and colourful.
