Critical theory: Using slideshare for research purposes

- This presentation includes many conventions of a film noir, including origins, characters, storylines, the set etc. I found it very useful and helpful for improving my understanding of film noirs.
- I learnt about the lighting techniques used to create certain moods within the films, for example, using 3 point lighting to create shadows on the subject and unveil a dark personality
- This presentation has informed me on my own production plans, as I now feel I know a lot more about what to include in my film noir, for example, I will pay a lot of attention on the lighting throughout my production.
