Film Noir & Lighting

I want the lip sync exercises to show I can invent characters with soul,(yes this is a little cheesy) but I mean a character who looks convincing without performing any physical dance routine or over exaggeration.

So, to set the scene and develop the staging I've decided to go for the classic Film Noir theme for the lip syncing exercise.

Heres a simple diagram i found from http://www.darkmansdarkroom.com/film-noir-lighting-with-lighting-diagrams/, it exsplains how to produce the lighting for a close up scene for film noir style movies. Spotlights from the front and ground highlight the face and put the character directly on the spot like a crinimal, creating more drama and intensifiing the scene. Another less intence light creates a refection in the eye, while the light at the back highlights the figure and creates a shadow at the front.

The lighting has alot of effect on the atmosphere and mood for the female character I want to portray, the close up shot combined with the Film Noir lighting technique
