Noire still images

both of these images i have attemted to edit according too controversies of the Noire genre, by taking out all colour and "antiquing" the photo's while still trying to keep modern qualities, this is especially shown in the top picture as i have added grain while sharpening the overall picture. both of the above pictures were edited on Pixlr which had a variety of suitable tool's to fit with the genre.                                                                                                                                                           Film Noir is

 “a new cinematic technique that made use of dark or dim lighting effects, dreary settings, filtered lights and generally dark themes and characterizations. Noir scenes are made from interesting camera angles and with dramatic close-ups and shadowed lighting. Frequently the stories use of smoke-filled rooms, views of light filtered through venetian blinds, seedy downtown areas with neon lights, dark wet streets to heighten the noir effect. “ 

Our characters were created to fit the conventions of a typical noire film with use of the anti-hero, a villain, and two fem fatales who are both different, one is a main character(anti-hero's partner) the other is an acquaintance of the other fem fatale.
