    film noir uses strong side-light and backlight. No fill light. Hard shadows. Including use of ‘cookies’, gobos etc.

    Hitchcock

    Theories of montage:
    Montage: assembly of pieces of film that move in rapid succession
    Cutting
    Juxtaposition of shots in rapid succession eg shower scene 75 shots in 65 sec
