Often bathed in gloomy shadows, the ominous mood of the films mirrored the corruption and paralysis of the underworld characters they presented. Influenced by the effects of World War II, it depicted an uneasy world, lacking ideals or moral absolutes. John Huston's The Maltese Falcon (1941) was the blueprint for other genre classics, such as The Big Sleep (1946) and Touch of Evil(1858).]]> 2018-01-29 17:35:54 UTC https://padlet.com/nmccurry/oe5gd4ehohfj/wish/225752016 https://padlet.com/nmccurry/oe5gd4ehohfj/wish/227849386 Techniques in Double Indemnity (1944) - A technique John F. Seitz (the cinematographer of Double Indemnity) used was "venetian blind" lighting which almost gives the illusion of prison bars trapping the characters. Barbara Stanwyck - the femme fatale - later reflected, "...and for an actress, let me tell you the way those sets were lit, the house, Walter’s apartment, those dark shadows, those slices of harsh light at strange angles – all that helped my performance. The way Billy staged it and John Seitz lit it, it was all one sensational mood." - This technique has become common place in the Film Noir genre. ]]> 2018-02-04 13:45:59 UTC https://padlet.com/nmccurry/oe5gd4ehohfj/wish/227849386 https://padlet.com/nmccurry/oe5gd4ehohfj/wish/227850376 https://youtu.be/K77aPil7btMhttps://youtu.be/K77aPil7btM
