Film Noir Stills - Examples


Visually researching into the genre of film noir has really helped me get a feel of how it looks as a genre. Styling is very clear within the pictures, the women are very pristine and glamorous, portraying strong women as you can see from the woman confidently leaning against the lamp post and the lady blowing smoke in the males face whilst men vary from looking quite rugged to very smart depending on the situation they are. Evidence of the storylines in film noir is also present, the picture of the lady looking frantic near the train tracks portray dramatics whilst the photos featuring males and females look as though they are based around romance and mystery. Although this has helped me get an idea of how the genre looks I will still go onto doing research into the history of Film Noir to fully understand what it is about and why it is about.
