Looking into "Film Noir"

The definition of "film noir" is to be used "primarily to describe stylish Hollywood crime dramas". It was mainly focused in the early 1940's to the late 1950's, as it can be guessed it is associated with French black and white films. But now Film Noir has now become a classic film genre.

I really like the style of Noir, and would like to use this classic style in  our music video as it is quite an old-fashioned sounding track and I think they would compliment the song. We were intending to use black and white anyway but I think this would make it more interesting.
I will discuss this with the group and see what they think, I will also research more into it.
