During a scene when someone is walking down the street next to a wall, we will set up a series of intense lights just out of the shot and slightly behind the action. This will cast the shadow of our character slightly ahead of him as he walks down the street. As the character passes the light source, the shadow will go from behind to in front and will move farther in front the farther he gets from the light source. We think this will add drama to a scene(look at example below).
We are aware that a lot of film noir pieces use window blinds to create stark contrasts and shadowy lighting to an interior scene, we may do the same by placing a very intense hard light outside a window, and slant it so that it looks like another source of light such as a street lamp. We will Partially close the blinds to get the desired striping effect on the wall and across the forehead of our character.
