Choosing Film Noir
What it buys you, and what it costs you. Both matter — you are locking every scene in the video to this.
Advantages
- Tension from the very first frame
- Letterboxing makes it feel like a film, not a video
- Shadow hides the gaps where imagery is thin
Trade-offs
- Crushed blacks and slow pacing punish long runtimes
- The mood overwhelms any factual, matter-of-fact section
What every scene is told to look like
This line goes into the prompt for every single image in your video. It is why scene 3 and scene 27 look like the same production, and it is the whole job of a theme.
