FILM NOIR: How to get the Classic Black & White Style

Фильм және анимация

Film Noir is one of the most fun styles to create! From The Maltese Falcon to Touch of Evil, it is easily one of the most recognized looks in cinematic history.
Today we talk about how you can easily match that classic style and how we pulled off our Secrete Sale ad without a green screen!

    I think black and white is a perfect way to watch movies changes continuities where characters come off the page It is one great perfect way to watch a live action movie to experience the book world just like you never seen it before it is a perfect way to watch movies I grew up watching black-and-white then since the Three Stooges came out as a TV series From modern-day Nomar from classic Noir I like watching movies to both ways in color in classic black and white. You can tell the difference between a book world It is very cool

    I'm sad that you didn't go through the process of adding the moon to the background. I'm mostly curious if you composited it in After Effects or just did it in Photoshop. You got a nice, natural shine hitting the top of those buildings and the water in your final shot. In the image you chose for the cityscape, there is a lot of light from the buildings that's hitting the water (unlike your final shot that has a much softer reflection). The moon is that extra soft aspect that really sells the shot. Like you said, it's all the aspects of a shot (lighting, wardrobe, angles, etc.) that really sells the final product. That's why I'm a little sad that you didn't cover that small detail. All that to say, I did really enjoy this episode! Great work as always. :)
