The type of film we have is a neo noir thriller. The term film noir (French for "black film") was coined by critic Nino Frank in 1946, but was rarely used by film makers, critics or fans until several decades later. The classic era of film noir is usually dated to a period between the early 1940s and the late 1950s. Typically American crime dramas or psychological thrillers, films noir had a number of common themes and plot devices, and many distinctive visual elements. Characters were often conflicted antiheroes, trapped in a difficult situation and making choices out of desperation or nihilisticmoral systems. Visual elements included low-key lighting, striking use of light and shadow, and unusual camera placement.
Examples of neo noir films are :
1. Blade runner
2. Blood simple
3. The man who wasn't there
4. Double Indemnity
5. Momento
These all have the same theme and 1 or 2 of them have the same background (story) as our thriller and movies like this influenced the choices we made when shooting and editing our thriller.
