Film Noir Style Shoot

Featuring: Lily Potter, Adam Burton and Harley Goulder,

This shoot was inspired by ‘The Three Little Pigs’ fairy tale.

The costume used help to establish this, such as the Pig nose and the suit which was the typical Noir style

Not only did we use characters to create our shoot but we also experimented with aspects of Mise-en-scene.

We added a more modern Noir take from films such as Sin City because it shows development of the genre over time.

This was later edited...

We later edited some of these photos so add more of a Noir genre instead of modern day locations.

The light from the lighter here creates a disorientating image and mystery as we can’t see the characters facial features

This is a very simple black and white edit to recognise the Noir genre in the early periods before current technology was used.

We also used a dark room studio and experimented with lighting and costume

This lighting is the best out of all of our photos because it draws attention to the femme fatale and her association with danger; highlighting the gun

This would be a better photo if it was a close up

The lighting here did not enhance the characters features. The light is also in shot

the lighting here did have potential to achieve a good focus on the femme fatale

however the lighting and angle of the camera could have been changed for a better shot

we also edited our photos adding aspects such as props and lighting

Added stereotypical props

We made the photo black and white and the contrast here was made darker drawing attention to the flame and characters.this is also quite disorientating and dark like in post Noir films

These are some other photos that weren’t as good as the others and didn’t edit later

Lighting issue

Too modern and not well in shot

Not in focus

Not the right perspective and facial expression takes away seriousness of the photo
