For our latest film project , we were asked to produce a film in the Noir style. In this project I am the director. As director, I try my best to come up with shots that, I feel will, will capture the essence of the scene and movie. This being a Noir style film means that it is dark in a sense and should use light and shadows to provide an added feel. As we rewrote our film into the script, I tried to incorporate some ideas in which I could relate to and also used my imagery, to in a way, give a dark feel to the film.  So far from our time working on this project I've learned that lighting is hard to get right, especially in a Noir style film. One can not jut, "through a light up" and just record.You have to be conscience of the mood you are trying to establish; does it require a lot of light? what type of light, shadows, where? These are but some of many questions that I have picked up as must know. Time and time again I have also learned that organization is key. I feel like my group lacks it. We do not stick to the set schedule and often find ourselves not all present. However, the few of us that do put in the effort, find our work satisfying. I did not except this to be a difficult project but I was proven wrong. Light is key to a a film Noir style film.
