Film noir is highly visually stylized. It was originally shot, and is typically shot, in melancholic grays, blacks and whites. Low-key and stark contrast expressionistic lighting enable dramatic shadows while deep focus and skewed camera shots provide the viewer with a disorienting perspective. The Dark Knight, Equilibrium, Renaissance and Alphaville adapt and interpret the visual style of film noir with various techniques and technologies to create an aesthetically compelling sequence. |
