In our production our villain Bruno will be using the gun as the weapon to kill his undercover accomplice which is secertly feeding him information from the detective cases so that he doesn't get caught.

Here are some examples of possible guns to be used;
These three guns follow the Film Noir genre as revolvers and small side arms were used frequently in fire fights or murders. However, a revolver seems like the likely choice as it does add to the effect of a villain such as ours by having such a costly weapon.
In the opening scene, other props such as a clock and papers placed on the desk will be used. Also, an additional lamp maybe used to add to the office scene when the detectives are working on the case.
The male character in a typical Film Noir production is normally wearing a long trench coat and a shirt and tie with one of the following detective hats
The final character is our femme fatale. She will be wearing a skirt which fits the appearance of a conventional female character in a film noir production. Her appearance will be beautiful and striking to the audience which again fits the conventions. As important as the detectives and their hats, the femme fatale's hair needs to fit the 1940/50's look. Modern looks today are much different to those of the 40's and 50's. When preparing for filming these considerations for the femme fatale will be taken into account so that her appearance is what is expected of a female character in a film noir production. Below are some examples of dress wear and hair styles;
