Our chosen sub-genre of crime is Film Noir, when translated in French means 'black film' as it is shot in black and white with shadow lighting to reflect the stylish 1940s. As we have a mainly female cast we thought that we could make an effective film noir film as it focuses on sexuality,feminity and the power of manipulation.
The genre was first noticed in America during 'the great depression' when people were looking for a way to escape into cinema. After watching classic 'The Big Sleep' it is clear that lighting is key to achieving a film noir cinematic effect so it will be a challenge.
