Film Noir - Development

I took the photo of my sister with the shadow across her face, and edited it using Photoshop. Firstly I colourised it and made it a kind of sepia colour as this gave it a more modern Noir feel. I then found two texture pictures, one being a bokeh blurred pattern and the other a star speckle pattern, I then adjusted the opacity and fill of each picture as I layered the photo and the patterns in Photoshop. I then saved it as a picture, and opened up the flattened image again. This time I turned up the contrast and the brightness to give it the very scratchy, worn look, with the high contrast adding a grain that i think works well with the whole look of the photo.
