For our production we are having the villain Bruno murder one of our main detectives Miles. We discussed as to how we were going to have the murder take place and came to the conclusion that a gun would be used due to other film noir's using side arms to be the contributing factor of death of a character.
Here are some examples of possible guns to be used;
These three guns follow the Film Noir genre as revolvers and small side arms were used frequently in fire fights or murders. However, a revolver seems like the likely choice as it does add to the effect of a villain such as ours by having such a costly weapon.
In the opening scene, other props such as a clock and papers placed on the desk will be used. Also, an additional lamp maybe used to add to the office scene when the detectives are working on the case.
The costumes of the characters is another important part. The detectives and villain will most likely be wearing smart suits whilst smoking cigars etc. Also, hats could be worn to add to the suit which again follows the film noir genre. The actors will need to be informed about the different clothing that they will have to wear to fit the character's appearance. Below are some examples of what our detectives will look like;
The final character is our femme fatale. She will be wearing a skirt which fits the appearance of a conventional female character in a film noir production. Her appearance will be beautiful and striking to the audience which again fits the conventions. As important as the detectives and their hats, the femme fatale's hair needs to fit the 1940/50's look. Modern looks today are much different to those of the 40's and 50's. When preparing for filming these considerations for the femme fatale will be taken into account so that her appearance is what is expected of a female character in a film noir production. Below are some examples of dress wear and hair styles;
