Thoroughly enjoyed this episode. The 'sponsor time' intro had me chuckling 😂Kindly consider making a film noir short film. I know you guys would crush it. Do it! The World needs it!😊
That Shot at 2:11 is simply amazing! I loved the lighting brushing on the shoulders and the chin & bottom lip nicely lite. Could you please explain the lighting placement and the diffuser angle to the subject? Thanks in advance.
RAHUL JIMMY Ryan and I had a small chat on Twitter, and i mentioned bringing back those comedic sketches within tutorials. He said there will be plenty more soon. Today's episode reminded me why I love Film Riot in the first place.
First off, you guys are off the chain!!! Film Noir is definitely a style. As a photographer I use the film noir style of shooting from time to time to dramatic effect. Anyway I enjoy your videos and I have learned a lot about lighting in the process. Thanks for what you do.
The second I finished this video, I opened Fade In, and started writing a noir, oh my god it's so stylized, ur tips are awesome, and will help a lot with he noir I will attempt to create
I think black and white is a perfect way to watch movies changes continuities where characters come off the page It is one great perfect way to watch a live action movie to experience the book world just like you never seen it before it is a perfect way to watch movies I grew up watching black-and-white then since the Three Stooges came out as a TV series From modern-day Nomar from classic Noir I like watching movies to both ways in color in classic black and white. You can tell the difference between a book world It is very cool
Great episode guys. I'm liking the simplicity of the noir style. .and animatics [if you ever cover this one] and the silent film look [with over cranked camera]. Thanks for sharing guys. It's inspiring. I want to make all of these mentioned.
Okay. No joke I JUST finished uploading my noir film and I went on this channel yesterday to see if they made a video like this but knowing my luck they planned it so I couldn't use this knowledge. for real tho great video guys
do you think those shots you showed would also work if you don't make it black white rather take out much of the color so you have a nice nearly Black white style
I like using UV lights for film noir and b&w scenes in general. If ur scene has white fabric, especially on ur talent, once u apply the b&w filter in post u get really crisp black to white contrast.
You guys weren't sorry hahaha. I'm glad you put out this video. I was seriously curious as to how to make this genre of film (I think it there is a style to it as well. Australia is a country and a continent, ya know?). Keep it up guys!
im actually watching this for the lighting and set aspect... i got ideas for practical effects (blood explosion, blood, and gun shots) and i got a film photo camera and film noir 400 ISO.. im going to take pictures great creative video and nice insight into set design!
I look at noir films at styles, though they're so wide one could still consider them as genres, the good think in movie making is that, well it doesn't minds...what minds is what you have in mind!
love your works I just premiered my Short over at the VCTC film festival and was wondering if you guys may be capable of critiquing it since I was inspired by you guys
well impressed with this video. any new short films on the horizon for us? I've been binge watching the last few hours, and nothing but respect for you guys.
We have two black magic cameras, if we want to achieve that film noir look, should we shoot in black and white or that is used in post production? Thanks
Nah... close 2nd. The one a few years ago, when Josh (without the beard!) said the whole Domain dot com text in a super seductive voice, and his bro replied "no homo... but that was hot" was the best. Still trying to find that episode again, by the way.

It would be pretty nice if you could add a label on the shots with info about lens size. Specially useful when we see the "set" we can better appreciate the camera position and distance to the subject + lens size and the result image :D
I'm sad that you didn't go through the process of adding the moon to the background. I'm mostly curious if you composited it in After Effects or just did it in Photoshop. You got a nice, natural shine hitting the top of those buildings and the water in your final shot. In the image you chose for the cityscape, there is a lot of light from the buildings that's hitting the water (unlike your final shot that has a much softer reflection). The moon is that extra soft aspect that really sells the shot. Like you said, it's all the aspects of a shot (lighting, wardrobe, angles, etc.) that really sells the final product. That's why I'm a little sad that you didn't cover that small detail. All that to say, I did really enjoy this episode! Great work as always. :)
If you really want to emulate that look, I'd forget the 2.35 crop (or even 16:9). Most of those films - like The Maltese Falcon, The Big Sleep, Key Largo, Touch of Evil, The Third Man, Double indemnity, Sunset Blvd, etc. - were shot well before widescreen was as thing, and were in the 1.37:1 Academy ratio. ("M" was actually 1.2:1.) The widescreen crop bars take a little away from that original look.
I personally think it's a bit of both, also, do you have any preffered, free editing software for a first time filmmaker with no budget? Because I have to make a 007 film for a school project, and plan to use a black and white filter as a nod to the old noir Bond films.
Oh I don't know why I thought of Cowboy Bebop with the "You come back now you hear" line. They just did that at the end. They usual said "See you space cowboy..." Unless your question was what Cowboy Bebop was?
I think it's a style. It's a form of color-grading which can be aplied to many genres. I gess you could even make a romance in noir. Would it be a genre, the overall experience of the story should be the same for every noir movie, right?
Do you think Noir is a Genre or a Style?
style
Film Riot Style
Style
Yeah, style. I think a genre isn't as much how something looks buts more what the story is like.
Film Riot genre all the way
Ryan literally explained a semesters worth of my film genre class into 2 minutes.....
I feel like a perv for watching all the way to the end.
+Patrick Fales You dirty dawg!
yeah me too...
dirty dawg it is
The show's over.
Go home.
It began as a genre, but now it's a clear style.
I learn more here than what I learn on my film 101 class
+Alexis Sotelo Thanks man! So glad you dug if.
Good to know
Those brick wood panels are pretty sick!
They are amazing. Tons of styles to choose from too.
I thought the same. Buying some!
back in the day, they had no after effects - it was all done with fine-grained film and lighting on set - no room for mistakes
I think theres a lot to be learned from it
Thoroughly enjoyed this episode. The 'sponsor time' intro had me chuckling 😂Kindly consider making a film noir short film. I know you guys would crush it. Do it! The World needs it!😊
This was amazing, one of the best visual explanations you guys have ever done! Not to mention the effect you guys created looked so damn amazing!
+Liam Moscrop Thanks man. Josh and Justin did an amazing job with the examples.
That Shot at 2:11 is simply amazing! I loved the lighting brushing on the shoulders and the chin & bottom lip nicely lite. Could you please explain the lighting placement and the diffuser angle to the subject? Thanks in advance.
now this is film riot, back to form
RAHUL JIMMY Ryan and I had a small chat on Twitter, and i mentioned bringing back those comedic sketches within tutorials. He said there will be plenty more soon. Today's episode reminded me why I love Film Riot in the first place.
that's right
NiftYeee so true

SO Refreshing to see the comedic sketches.
"Ring ring, Triune Pizza, how can we help?"
"Uhh, do you guys deliver (on promises?)"
"HELL YES WE DO."
hahaha!
You nailed the style, I love it. I had goosebumps when I saw the scene with the gun. So badass.
funniest episode in a while, nice
+chrisw443 Thanks dude!
Ugh!!! This video is awesome!!!!! Thank you. Noir is a style. Love it.
+Lisa Amaro Thanks Lisa!
+Lisa Amaro thanks
Haha awesome guys! This would be a really fun Monday challenge!
Do one for Spaghetti Westerns.
+BeReelPictures That's a good one.
Film Riot Omg yes I expect some Sergio Leone refrences. I look forward to that one and throughly enjoyed this one.
Film Riot yeah I'm hoping to do a spaghetti western myself next, ha ha
YES!!
done
The second I finished this video, I opened Fade In, and started writing a noir, oh my god it's so stylized, ur tips are awesome, and will help a lot with he noir I will attempt to create
+AlexMcD6 That's awesome!

From modern-day Nomar from classic Noir I like watching movies to both ways in color in classic black and white. You can tell the difference between a book world
It is very cool
Finishing up a comedy noir short film myself! Glad to see Film Riot appreciates such an amazing genre!
Great episode! I'm gonna try to use more of these techniques in my movies!
These are some great beginners tips towards achieving a noir film!! Thank you so much!
I seriously appreciate the set design for the sponsor time skit.
"Sponsor time..." Lol
+Brian Torsell :)
I was waiting for this after reading your comment. Was NOT disappointed. 😂
Touch Of Evil is so beautiful, it's almost as if it IS in color.
Film Noir is my favourite genre and thank you for showing me how to make one.
Your tutorials really hit home - great job!
BEST EPISODE EVER!
great episode!
Awesome video! It's always nice to learn more styles. I was half excepting a noir challenge though....
Great episode guys. I'm liking the simplicity of the noir style. .and animatics [if you ever cover this one] and the silent film look [with over cranked camera]. Thanks for sharing guys. It's inspiring. I want to make all of these mentioned.
Okay. No joke I JUST finished uploading my noir film and I went on this channel yesterday to see if they made a video like this but knowing my luck they planned it so I couldn't use this knowledge.
for real tho great video guys
Awesome vid! Loved the history behind this one
I loved the history lesson! You should do that more!
Noir is a stylistic genre in my opinion, a genre which comes with it's own unique style.
noir style is a class. it's not a easy sector to choose. must've some knowledge! well done film riot!
This video was great I used the blinds lighting effect in my noir and it looks amazing
I feel film noir is more of a style then a genre because it can be applied to any genre, without any of the traditional tropes.
In John Alton's "painting with light" lies the secret to Film Noir! Awesome book!
Great video, especially the explanatory introduction to Noir. Thanks for this :)
It still looks super cool in color.
Very handy for me, I'm trying to make a little noir short myself just now, thanks!
Great Vid! This gave me a lot of ideas. Thanks!!!
You guys are so creative and inspirational. You all make me go and DO !! Thanks guys!
You are so awesome guys, thank You!!!
Making a Noir film for my Final Major Project at the moment, will definitely use some of these tips, thanks!!
this is a great trick!
Been waiting for a noir episode from you guys a long time. 2:09 is just so cool. Thank You Film Riot. #inspiring
do you think those shots you showed would also work if you don't make it black white rather take out much of the color so you have a nice nearly Black white style

+Kompa Jessi Sounds cool. I need to test that.
The tee is gold
You guys weren't sorry hahaha. I'm glad you put out this video. I was seriously curious as to how to make this genre of film (I think it there is a style to it as well. Australia is a country and a continent, ya know?). Keep it up guys!
I like neo-noir. Striking example is Batman: Begins and The Crow
LOL Love the ending. Love your videos.
im actually watching this for the lighting and set aspect...
i got ideas for practical effects (blood explosion, blood, and gun shots)
and i got a film photo camera and film noir 400 ISO.. im going to take pictures
great creative video and nice insight into set design!

Good T shirt Ryan!...and great video!

Triune LUTs are pretty much the most underrated LUTs in the world.
ryan you really direct noir well
That was the best sponsor time AD I ever seen form you guys 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🕵🏽💃🏽

Love your free flow fun presentation style, awesome video
LOVE THE SESCRET ENDINGS.
What's the lighting you mentioned? Lux light? Can you let me know the spelling and even through a link in where to get the. Thx.
BEST SPONSOR TIME EVER!!!!!!
That ending was great as well!
😂😂😂😂 the end bit... 👌👌
There are talks of Logan being re-released in b&w. Superhero in film noir style?
Hey Film Riot, what do you recommend for clothing under the trench coats and fedoras?
Awesome! Thanks for the BTS! Er, and the ads/vids too, I think, er, well, um, maybe ... :0)
Never seen the first page of comments on a film riot episode b4
So so good. So so good.
Cool! Keep up the good work guys!
Where was this a few months ago? lol we just made a noir film for our schools film competition
Been trying to make my own neo-noir stuff lately, thanks for the tips!
I love Ryan's T-shirt.

Great stuff as usual guys! thanks for being awesome for so long! What Smallhd monitor was that?
Thx! Your video was very helpful on my latest project!!!

Perhaps just a tone/style that fits very well with crime drama. Synonymous even.
+Lawton Meyer Agreed.
Indeed. What would Blade Runner be considered though?
This is legit , just what I needed. Thank you so much :)
This is amazing. Thanks for all the tips.
Love the ending 🤣🤣
Love the Cowboy Bebop plug at end. Can I get a "Write Shoot Edit Repeat" braclet?
+JacobsenBros Cowboy Bebop?
Oh I don't know why I thought of Cowboy Bebop with the "You come back now you hear" line. They just did that at the end. They usual said "See you space cowboy..." Unless your question was what Cowboy Bebop was?

Hey Ryan, just a question,what are you going to do another tutorial video? I really been wanting to see one recently.
I think it's a style. It's a form of color-grading which can be aplied to many genres. I gess you could even make a romance in noir. Would it be a genre, the overall experience of the story should be the same for every noir movie, right?
Jurassic Park is another movie you can watch in black and white.
Ryan? What did you use for the cigarette and electric one or is just a prop?
Ill use this some day, thanks!
1000th Like! :-) That ending!
Why did you add gaussian blur to the city and not the ae camera blur?
Great stuff.
Post credits are awesome.
This was awesome (as always)
Please do more videos about history of film
I’m working on a film and am looking for jazz music in the style used in this episode. Does anyone have recommendations on the cheap?
