Location, Location, Location.

Personally, i think the Beehive pub was a great setting for our film noir, the lighting in there was quite dark, it was quiote old fasioned and it included pretty much the atmosphere we were looking for. Here are some pictures of what the setting looked like:

 This is where our Hero and Femme fatale sat. I think the cushions on the chairs and the fireplace make it look quite old fashions.
 An overview of the main area, where the camera pans through at the beginning. It was quite spacious, despite the fact we didn't need that much room, but again, it fitted our needs perfectly.
 Another shot of the seating area. Most of the camerawork was done behind the banister, and that was a great way of getting the over the shoulder shots, and the window shot in the next picture.
It was quite hard to see the actors from inside, when they were outside, but the shot didn't turn out too bad.

The door which the gangsters burst though, quite a fun and effective part to film. We thought the "No smoking" signs on the doors would be a problem, but they were easily overcame. Pictures from various films, Including the Godfather lined the hallway, and we thought this was very convient, as it was too prefect to be in the backround in some of our shots.
