gothic night shot this image should convey the tenseness of a noir thriller through the visual vocabulary of noir light and shadow the threats should come from things we can t see buried in the shadows out the window what initially appears to be sky is actually a mural painted on a dirty brick wall the window becomes a murder weapon at least three times the render should have the power of noir cinematography to frame disconcerting and to hide detail there is nothing in the picture frames the shadows are deep and angular all we see out the window is an old brick wall 4 feet away with an aging mural suggesting sky and clouds there are two people one is an imposing older woman and the other is a young man whose tweed jacket was bought second hand the wall outside of the windows is parallel to the windows we see no other detail out the widow there are sheers under the drapes that are mostly open the shadows have as much visual presence as the architecture and may be cast by unseen window blinds and light sources architecture
