I thought this was great. I also like to read noir also, and found there is also a video "Noir Naiton" here on Youtube that is very interesting. It looks like they publish Graphic novels as well, and will reach the e-pub audience on Kindles, Nook, iPads etc. Their Facebook page looks interesting, too.
Touch of Evil, Sin City, The Maltese Falcon, yeaaah! Casablanca, yeah! The Thid Man, yeah! Sunset Bullevard, well, OK! And what about Double Indemnity, The Big Sleep, Key Largo, Asphalt Jungle? Chinatown? Rennaissance? Well, kind'a Scifi, but still.
Hey, great video. Some nice lighting there. If you get the chance can you take a look at my film noir student film I made (it's called D.A) and let me know what you think. Thanks.
Batman and Sin City are not film noir- they are neo-noir. Film Noir is not just a style or a genre- but it is a movement that only exists in a certain time frame.
It's ridiculous to think that a person couldn't shoot a film in the same style today (see Retro.) or with the same, or very similar, political reasons. Surprisingly, style comes and goes and can be revisited at and point past it's conception, whilst politics stay the same, even if the players and conflicts differ
@ThePitofSidLord Film movements are locked into a certain period of time. If people create films with reference to the noir style they are creating neo-noirs. I disagree about revisiting style. You wouldnt see a director now a days create a film that is part of Itialian neo-realism
This doesn't look like film noir because it's filmed with a modern digital camera and without the equipment of the 40's. The analysis is still awesome.
If you're interested in seeing what footage looks like using this adapter search ABDavis and look for a short movie called "Open Doors" or click on my profile and find it on my favorites list. We used this adapter, a Nkon 50mm lens, a Canon Vixia HG20, and Final Cut Pro.

Today I have been watching three of my all time favourite Joan Crawford movies: Mildred Pierce, Sudden Fear, Female on the Beach... not... THAT was tension and lighting! I bow before thee, fab crews!
@Freddirector I think you're missing the point entirely. There aren't that many examples of film noir being made now as used to be. Think of this as an bare bones introduction. Hopefully it will lead "amateurs" to go out and watch some classics. You have to know what the genre consists of before you can attempt to make one. Knowing that doesn't mean that you make a "generic" or "cliched" movie.
It's not "digital noir" or "video tape noir" or "Super 8 noir" it's FILM noir. That's why you can never get that look right because you'd have to use a type of film that's no longer manufactured.
@MontagTheMagician No, it's not the film stock, it's the story, and a certain style. Generally one derived from German expressionism. Blood simple, by the Cohen Brothers is very good film noir, so is Chinatown which came out much later than most of the films people associate with the genre.
@NelsonStJames There's no such thing as a film noir after the 50s. It doesn't exist. It's like saying there's a NEW Italian Renaissance painting. No, there's not. Nobody knowingly made a film noir, it was a phenomenon that unfolded naturally based on events leading up to that time period. Cohen Brothers are good and so is Chinatown. They're not film noirs. The look of the film is what gave it the name "noir" in the first place.
@MontagTheMagician I guess that depends on the definition you are using of film noir, which I define as a genre. Many films were shot up to the time that the Maltese Falcon by Houston came out (including two earlier versions of the book), but none of those are considered noir cinema. It was the themes that made it noir. To me it's like saying that there are no Westerns after High Noon. That's why I'd classify a film like L.A. Confidential as noir, and Miami Vice as a police drama.
@NelsonStJames Also to defend my argument that it wasn't the film stock specifically that designated a film as noir, and still keeping with your point that no film noir films were made after the 50's. Hitchcock's Vertigo is considered film noir yet it was shot in color. Also there is A Kiss Before Dying shot in 1956.
@NelsonStJames You proved my point. Little Caesar is not a film noir but it falls under the same "genre" as a film noir. It's a style of film making, but it's NOT a genre. The genre it falls under is crime drama, but it's a certain variation classified after the fact. That's why if you made a movie now with an all black cast it couldn't be considered "blaxploitation". You could try to call it that but everybody'd be like "yeah, right."
Watch it once more, there are instructions all through this. It's much more useful to see the tips in use than to have a boring step by step narrative, I reckon.
It takes a while to write the script. I'm still working on some issues in the first draft. and in the mean time I am getting the equipment to shoot it. I'm not trying to rush this. Plus I go to school 6 hours a day and I have a job. But I'm hoping to start shooting late July or early August. It will happen I promise! :D
wow lol The same music at the begening was used in the movie King of the Lost World. It probably royalty free music-which mean the movie was extremely low budget.
I am aware of that. However remember that copyright infrigement only applies propely when showing the film for profit. Plus I doubt that Take 2 would seek us up for having made something using music from their game...
He was doing it for the effect. Film Noir was primarily active in the 1950's when EVERYONE 12 and up was puffing there brains out. So incidentily most of the characters in Film Noir movies, smoked.
Don't you notice he never smokes in any other video? You people are so naive.
Wow! This was awesome however batman is not film noir. The main character may have flaws but he is an indestructible superhero and that kinda disqualifies it...
it's not necasserily the characters in the film, but the way is it shot, whats on set and how it is edited.
for example, there is alot of use of smoke in batman, for instance when his parents are shot, it is in monochrome and you can see a figure with a gun wavering in the dark smoke arising from the gutter. The reason Batman doesn't come off as film noir is becuase it was originally a comic, so it has all the elements of an action and adventure. Tim Burton is the only reason batman is so good.
If you are only talking about the look of the film then sure, batman can be considered noir. However, limiting noir to a "look" is cutting the genre short. While not a rule, film noir usually has a main character that "descends into hell" figuratively of course.
The look of the film can greatly vary, Chinatown is considered noir...

when they don't smoke, they should do at least heroin... it was around back then and had the same sleazy connotations it has today if not worse... A tragic 'dope fiend'...
hey guys, 4 minute film school is great. I'm currently working on a horror movie and I was wandering if you had any tips on giving my movie that scary effect? just an idea for one of you videos. thx
Other than that POV shots work well, just don't go all Cloverfield on your film. But the best piece of advice I can give regarding horror, things are much scarier when you DON'T show it. Let your audiences imaginations run with it instead of throwing it in their faces. Hitchcock was the best at this.
i have a disc The Cinematic volume in the Orchestral Series of Sony Sound Series it is number 3 designed for video production kick ass disc for dramatic music.
From what I recall from my Multi-Cultural Film, the film noir style took up mainly from the Hard Boiled Detective stories that were all the rage at the time. In fact, the term "Film Noir" came into existance after WWII because at the time these films started to be produced (during the war), Nazi-Occupied countries wouldn't allow American films to be shown. And the term actually comes from the French. BTW, excellent video guys, definately covers all of film noir in a short amount of time. 5*s
