Film Noir - Props and Costumes



In terms of props and costumes our film basically requires:
  • A trench coat (for main character)
  • A trilby hat (for main character)
  • A dress (for femme fatale)
  • Cigarettes
  • Whiskey
  • Whisky glasses
  • A handgun
All these props, and the costumes, are not only vital for the narrative of the film, but are vital in meeting the conventions of Film Noir. All the above costumes, and the props, can be seen in the majority of Film Noir movies.

Film Noir - Production Log

Filming for Above the Law has been completed. Jordan Forshaw and Emily Reid turned up at the shoot on time and everything we planned for, we did. The only issue was that we had some issues with trying to film outside in low light, this was due to the fact that we were using my own camera that although can film in a very good quality, struggles in low light. It was still a sucessful shoot though. All that remains now is to begin editing and record the voice-overs.
