How To Create That Signature Visual Style

Here are some tips on how to perfect the visual style of Film Noir;

Helps to have a smoke machine

Back Lighting/Front Lighting

Using blinds between front light & actor creates a nice effect

Shooting at night & in black & white is strongly suggested

Interesting camera angles (e.g. Deutsch Angles, X-tremely High/Low Angles)

Point-Of-View Shots can help your viewer into the mindset of the character

There is a video on this I have found, unfortunately it cannot be posted onto this blog, however here is the link. Feel free to watch it.
