Lighting tools
Film Noir utilizes the use of tools such as cucoloris and gobos. Cucoloris and gobos are both light tools that control light shape. Cucoloris are placed in front of the light source and between the subject (a cutout placed in front of the light source). Gobos are placed inside or in front of the light source. This difference leads to the cucoloris being used to achieve a more natural look and simulate movement. While the Gobo is used to create patterns or textures onto a surface

High Key Lighting
While low-key lighting creates contrasts, high-key lighting balances light and shadows. Although when using high-key lighting shadows are less noticeable, they can still add depth and dimension to the film. High-key lighting can project a optimistic tone while it contrasts with the traditional gloomy weather seen in film noir.
