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

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!

Do you think Noir is a Genre or a Style?

[DanielCutajarMedia]

Ryan literally explained a semesters worth of my film genre class into 2

[patrickfales]

I feel like a perv for watching all the way to the end.

[uehal]

It began as a genre, but now it's a clear style.

SO Refreshing to see the comedic sketches.
"Ring ring, Triune Pizza, how can we help?"
"Uhh, do you guys deliver (on promises?)"
"HELL YES WE DO."

back in the day, they had no after effects - it was all done with fine-grained film and lighting on set - no room for mistakes

I learn more here than what I learn on my film 101 class

[RicoWarui]

Thoroughly enjoyed this episode. The 'sponsor time' intro had me chuckling 😂Kindly consider making a film noir short film. I know you guys would crush it. Do it! The World needs it!😊

[iasliam]

This was amazing, one of the best visual explanations you guys have ever done! Not to mention the effect you guys created looked so damn amazing!

[bryansho]

Those brick wood panels are pretty sick!

[LifeAnyoneMedia]

Haha awesome guys! This would be a really fun Monday challenge!

[kamranfarooqui]

That Shot at 2:11 is simply amazing! I loved the lighting brushing on the shoulders and the chin & bottom lip nicely lite. Could you please explain the lighting placement and the diffuser angle to the subject? Thanks in advance.

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

First off, you guys are off the chain!!! Film Noir is definitely a style. As a photographer I use the film noir style of shooting from time to time to dramatic effect. Anyway I enjoy your videos and I have learned a lot about lighting in the process. Thanks for what you do.

[Curryfishballa]

These are some great beginners tips towards achieving a noir film!! Thank you so much!

[WilliamStoneman]

Your tutorials really hit home - great job!

[WeegieMovies]

Great video, especially the explanatory introduction to Noir. Thanks for this :)

[SilasWilloughby]

Awesome video! It's always nice to learn more styles. I was half excepting a noir challenge though....

[palmtrees]

Great episode guys. I'm liking the simplicity of the noir style. .and animatics [if you ever cover this one] and the silent film look [with over cranked camera]. Thanks for sharing guys. It's inspiring. I want to make all of these mentioned.

[jacksonstern]
