noir stills

[FelipeJaco]

What do you thing about this type of lighting for noir film, these are tests that we are doing prior to shooting.

Looks pretty good to me, good job with the smoke too. Only thing that makes it sort of hard to tell what the final product will be like is the lack of anything in the background. Remember you'll have to light your background accordingly to sell the theme as well. These shots look good for stills, but for an actual film, you'd need some pretty good art direction going on in the BG.

Good luck!

I like the idea -- I think you're on the right track, mood-wise -- but you can hardly see anything.

That may be fine for a scene which is appropriate, but I don't think I'd want to watch a whole film like that.

Thanks a lot btown, that asks for somewhat bigger budget but yes you are right.
Yes David. I have seen a couple of noirs that were pretty dark, didn't like it a lot that way. People walking around in the dark. But these are just jazz sesssionn stage shots.
