Unit 18   In this document I will evaluate the actions done through the different stages of production when creating this film noir. This will include the settings and the lighting used in each scene and why.   Pre-p roduction   To produce this  sequence,  I had to first  plan it. This started with what type of story it was going to be, the first decision was to choose whether it be classic noir or neo noir.
