I am in the motion of writing a short film noir style film and have been looking at the correct lighting i should use to get that shadowy look. I plan to use silhouettes and venetian blinds to gain this effect.
However, I have found whilst researching that anything on film noir lighting tends to sound complex although ive read it is very easy. This is down to my lack of knowledge of the lighting aspect of film making so i thought id come here to clear up what ive read and see if im on the right track.
Basically, i would like to know in a simpleton way, how i achieve film noir lighting. How many lights, where they should be positioned..etc
Hopefully this is not to vague.
Cheers.
