Film noir [autosaved]
Film noir has a distinct style that represented the mood in America after World War II through its use of gloomy grays, blacks, and whites.

One recognizable feature is the use of low-key lighting and shadows to create a sense of disorientation and emphasize the cold nature of characters. Gender roles were also distinctly portrayed, with femmes fatales representing a threat to traditional values and victims portrayed as upholding maternal instincts. The 1941 film I Wake Up Screaming showed how women were limited to careers based on looks and the power dynamics of the time through camera angles that made women appear submissive.

Conventions of film noir g321
Film noir conventions include settings in urban areas like Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York and Chicago that act as mazes. Scenes often take place at night in bars, clubs or other locations associated with crime, under low-key lighting that creates dramatic shadows. Noir films also feature convoluted narratives with flashbacks and voiceover narration by the protagonist, usually a detective seeking justice against criminals motivated by greed and jealousy. They explore dark themes of corruption in society and human psychology.
Media: Film Noir
Both L.A. Noire and L.A. Confidential use similar mise-en-scene elements to establish the film noir genre, including dark colors, scenes set at night, and femme fatale characters portrayed through costume and acting. Both films also use composition and close-up shots to make characters seem powerful and dominate the screen. While the narratives introduce Los Angeles in a similar bright manner, they then juxtapose this with darker elements to subvert expectations and establish the true noir tone of the stories.
eg
Film Noir is a genre of stylish American detective films from the 1940s-1950s known for its dark, black and white visuals depicting an underworld atmosphere.
