The document outlines the production of a film noir thriller. It will use chiaroscuro lighting and flash to white for a gunshot. The narrative involves a man trying to expose drug dealers his lover is involved with. Research into film noir conventions is being conducted. The film will use HD cameras, lights, and editing software. Graphics will be minimal, focusing on suspense. Lighting the locations and finding some may be difficult. The target audience is aspirational social climbers and the film will be complex, enigmatic, and full of suspense. Film noir, flawed characters, and a dark world are conventions that will be used. Six actors are cast for main and stock roles across a bedroom,
