  Film Noir - Films
Film noir was also derived from the crime/gangster and detective/mystery sagas from the 1930s (i.e., Little Caesar (1930), Public Enemy (1931) and Scarface (1932)), but very different in tone and characterization.
Film noir films (mostly shot in gloomy grays, fls and whites) thematically showed the dark and inhumane side of human nature with cynicism and doomed love, and they emphasized the brutal, unhealthy, seamy, shadowy, dark and sadistic sides of the human experience.
Film noir films were marked visually by expressionistic lighting, deep-focus or depth of field camera work, disorienting visual schemes, jarring editing or juxtaposition of elements, ominous shadows, skewed camera angles (usually vertical or diagonal rather than horizontal), circling cigarette smoke, existential sensibilities, and unbalanced or moody compositions.

 The Political Economy of Black Film
(Race in Contemporary American Cinema: Part 4)
The breakthrough period for fl cinema came in the late 1960s, when the industry had severe economic problems stemming from a mature television industry and the continuing complications of the 1948 Paramount Consent Decree in which a U.S. government suit forced the major Hollywood studios to divest their interests in both film production and exhibition.
Film production had gone down from nearly 500 films a year to about 250 at a time when individual theaters contained four, six, or even a dozen screens.
Black filmmakers who don't care if their films 'crossover' to white audiences - such as Julie Dash, director of Daughters of the Dust -are often less interested in making dollars than in promoting fl culture and politics.

 Processing black & white film
The quality of the finished negatives (and ultimately the prints made from the negatives) depends as much upon the precision of your film processing as it does on the proper exposure of the film when the pictures were being taken.
Film processing precision means using precisely-correct measurements when mixing chemicals, precise temperature maintenance and precise timing.
When just starting out to process film, it is best to carefully follow the film manufacturer's recommendations for processing a particular brand of film.
