In the lessons we have started watching 'Brick' (2005, dir. Johnson), which is a modern day Noir crime drama, that draws lots on intertextual references to the Hollywood style Film Noir classics. These films were filmed in black and white, this created stark light/dark contrasts that could make the iconic shadows that these films were known for. 'Brick' is shot in colour, but has a very drained, almost blue tone to it, and parts are filmed on really sunny days so this gives shadows which can create the iconic look to Noir films.
