Picking my movement...

Originally I wanted to do Pop art, then I looked into it and realised it is way to broad... I was then going to pick Andy Warhol but I feel that the main option there would be to do some kind of screen print esque type thing... and I'm a little bored of all that!
I'm really interested in Film Noir films, so I thought maybe I could do Film Noir posters. I have now decided to do film noir in general, the posters are completely different to the actual films, its pretty strange really... Film noir is known for the dark blacks and lights shining through, shadows and figures, where as the posters are colourful with detailed drawings of the film stars...

I will study cinematography within film noir, language used and typefaces in the credits. I would like to create my own film noir image, I will create a scene and style hair, clothes and makeup to create a proper film noir feel.

Thinking about the poster now, It would be great to make my own film noir poster but focusing on the history of actual film noir rather than the poster art. I would like it to mainly focus on the image I create, I want it to be extremely dark and mysterious yet beautiful. I will need to use photoshop to get the lighting and shadows just right.

Double Indemnity is one of my favourite Film Noir films, I have embedded some stills from the movie below... This is the kind of thing I am going for...
