Film Noir Lighting! Embrace The Darkness!

Film Noir is a unique period in filmmaking history which produced a style that has continued to transcend genres and evolve across the zeitgeist of modern filmmaking.
In this episode i'll show you four noir lighting setups, and explore the reasoning for these creative choices.

This episode was filmed using the RED Komodo 6K, edited in DaVinci Resolve and Colour Graded within DaVinci using Dehancer Pro. i used the the Illford XP2 Super 400 Film profile for my film choice, and paired this with Dehancer's Bloom and Film Grain Effects

If you're unsure of what Dehancer is i'd highly recommend checking out my part 1 & 2 Videos in which i go in depth across all of the softwares features.
