Brainstorming list of what makes a noir film for me

1. Camera is usually hip to chest height. 2. Clothing usually has high contrast between dark coat and white shirt. 3. Everyone Smokes 4. Usually raining when outside shots. 5. Stories are usually a darker tone. 6. Character tells about the love of a young woman and how he has never seen that gaze of love across her face. 7. Directional lighting with only a few main sources of lighting. 8. When things are joyful the lighting fills the room. 9. Usually always someone working an angle to get the best of someone. Can be open to the viewer or could be hidden. 10. The main character usually has no family left or very terrible family relationships. 11. Dialogue usually has many layers to it, background information for developing the characters.
