Film noir, (French: “dark film”) style of filmmaking characterized by such elements as cynical heroes, stark lighting effects, frequent use of flashbacks, intricate plots, and an underlying existentialist philosophy. The genre was prevalent mostly in American crime dramas of the post-World War II era.

Casablanca is not a film noir per se, but it reflects many elements of the genre, mainly its setting, mood, cinematic style, and typical romantic lone hero. Most of the action takes place in the title city of Casablanca. In the world of Casablanca feelings and concern for others are dangerous.

Tell the reader enough to know where they are, but be spare with the language. Noir fiction characters don’t tend to have much emotional depth. They scheme, they strategize, but they aren’t blabbermouths. Keep it simple, and focus on plot (and plot twists), mood and pithy dialogue.

Noir fiction (or roman noir) is a subgenre of crime fiction. In this subgenre, right and wrong are not clearly defined, while the protagonists are seriously and often tragically flawed.

Narrative structure in noir is non—linear, complex and twisting and the story is commonly told in the first person by a male narrator. It may be told in a fragmented, maze-like manner or in flashback – a technique which adds to the sense of hopeless/fatalism, since the outcome has already been decided.

To light in a film noir style, there are three basic things to remember:

1. To get hard crisp shadows, use a small intense light.
2. Emphasize the difference between high and low-key lighting (lots of fill, high-key lighting)
3. Use at least 500 watt lights to get solid crisp blacks and stark whites (eliminate grays)

Low-key lighting is typically used when the director wants to either isolate a subject or convey drama. Just because a scene is shot with low-key lighting doesn’t necessarily mean it must be scary, but, if you want your audience to be uneasy, low-key lighting is a great place to start.

It is often used in sitcoms and comedies. High-key lighting is usually quite homogeneous and free from dark shadows. The terminology comes from the higher balance in the ratio between the key light and the fill light in a traditional three point lighting setup.

Go to “Visual Effects” and click on “Black and white”. This effect will come into effect immediately. We can preview it on the player. Click “File” > “Save movie” to choose your preferred quality for saving the file, Movie Maker will convert your color video footage into black and white automatically.

But more importantly, black and white changes a movie thematically, providing atmosphere, tone, and visually providing stark contrasts and a dreamlike view of the world. It can at once make a film feel more real (like time period accurate film and photographs) while making it feel unreal (real life is in color).

Definitions of Real vs Reel The adjective real means actual, true, genuine, authentic, or sincere. The verb reel means to sway, stagger, spin, or whirl. As a noun reel refers to a dance or to a wheel or cylinder on which wire, rope, thread, or film is wound; the related verb means to wind or pull in on a reel.

Most modern projectionists use the term “reel” when referring to a 2,000-foot (610 m) “two-reeler”, as modern films are rarely shipped by single 1,000-foot (305 m) reels. A standard Hollywood movie averages about five 2,000-foot reels in length.

Introduced in the 1920s as a cheaper alternative to 35mm film stock, 16mm became the standard for amateur documentary and news crew filmmakers for over 50 years. Like Super 8, 16mm is still in use today.

Film Reels at the Movies In most cases, movie theaters are no longer using the traditional film format for showing movies. Since the early 2000s, digital projectors have been the industry standard around the world. As movie projection technology advances, older methods such as film slowly become more and more obsolete.
