Film Noir Classics II: Fred MacMurray - Pushover (1954): Money Isn't Dirty

This video clip has top lighting to show that they are glamorous and shows that they are two both main characters. This genre of this film looks like a romance/drama, because of this I think that because of his facial expressions are serious and demanding whereas the woman's facial expressions look like she worries about something. However, in the end of the movie they both start kissing which connotes that the man and woman have both fallen in love. There is under lighting on the girls face to create highlights and shadows, the lady is femme fetal, you can see this by her short tight curls, dark fur coat and dark rouge lipstick. In the end of the clip the woman seems quite seductive towards the man as the leans over and kisses him, the top lighting makes it more realistic as the background is all dark.

In this image, it has low key lighting on the girls face and back lighting on half the girls face and background, this shows that the genre of the movie could be a horror/thriller or drama, by this I think this because there is a man's hand with his veins sticking out - near her face which the lighting is all dark and has oscuro dark shadows. This image if effective because it could suggest that the man has this girl locked away and she is trying to call someone or is being forced to do something by the man show hands are near her face. The hand coming from the side makes it look scary because there is top lighting on the hand as the veins are standing out more, this could imply that the man has power over the girl because she looks frightened. The use of the back light makes the main character in the image stand out more as the lighting is used at the background and is merged slightly onto the girls face. The image is a medium close up to show give emphasis on the facial expressions.
