Film Noir Cinematography

Cinematography assignment for Uni.

Basically a recreation of my favourite elements from Film-Noir and Neo-Noir.

I concentrated on utilising dark and light contrasted imagery, Venetian blinds,
shadows and smoke to create a visually interesting piece of video.

Due to the contrasted dark imagery and use of video and compression it is a little grainy.

Thanks to Matt Vardy for his amazing acting skills.

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.

@NevandOtis Thanks, glad you like it! Yes Film Noir is very interesting and has been a great influence to many things since it's creation.

Yes, I think crime writing in particular has lead some of the literary styles, it had an influence on Hemingway, among others.

I write and thought the Noir Nation sounds interesting, looks like they plan to have films on their website, but it doesn't seem to be up yet.
