Film noir is a cinematic term used primarily to describe stylish Hollywood crime dramas. This is the style we are going for with our film. Hollywood's classic film noir period is generally regarded as stretching from the early 1940s to the late 1950s, a style with a low key black and white visual style. Crime is usually the main element for film Noire, where greed and jealousy is usually the main motive for the crime. A crime investigation by a private eye, police detective or a concerned member of the public is the most prevalant, but far from dominant, basic plot. False suspicions and accusations of crime are frequent plot elements, as are betrayals and double-crosses. Film noirs tend to revolve around heroes who are more flawed and morally questionable than the norm.
Film noir is often associated with an urban setting, and a few cities; Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, and Chicago, in particular are the location of many of the classic films.
We want style to be a large part of this short film
