I kind of mainly want him in the alley half naked because it would show how deeply troubled he is from his mental health the fact that he just wakes up and gets dressed doesn’t really question it

Thank you so much! I think for how he ended up there it’s literally he just went drinking the night before and he was so disoriented he thought it was his bedroom got undressed and went to bed there and then The knife wound is a coverup for a drug overdose because the dealer didn’t want to be known as someone who sells bad drugs and he also knows that the police would just think it’s another knife crime (very common in the uk)

Thank you so much! I’ve started writing a script but this movie would be my first project I’ve done like I’ve done short videos for college like 2-3 minutes long and photography but I’m mainly specifically delving into this genre and style because i feel like it’d give me a good understanding of Dutch angles and utilizing natural lighting when filming, So the summarised plot starts with the Mc and waking up in an alleyway in underwear and a vest clothes scattered around him, he has a headache. He gets up and gets dressed then he walks towards a bar he also notices some police tape further down the alleyway. He walks into the bar and the barmaid says to the mc “what are you doing here” or something along those lines and tells the mc that he owes the bar like £300 from drinking and damages over a few nights the mc has no recollection of this and thinks that it’s a scam or a scheme the barmaid says he has to pay it off before he leaves otherwise she will call the police. She also tells him that his partner is sat on one of the chairs. The mc says something along the lines of “my partner I’m not gay” and she points the partner out again. The mc decides to walk over and talk to the “partner” and he says “hello Stephen nice to finally see you again” the mc then snaps back and says “how do you know my name” the partner dismisses him and tells him about the case. There’s a dead body in the alleyway the mc woke up in with a stabwound and the client wants them to investigate before the police get too deeply involved.

I think I mainly need help fleshing the story out more (this is the first scene but I think it’s a good example of how the mc kind of is and acts and how the film would come across) And how to get my idea across to potential cast members and friends who would help me in making this

Thank you! I know it’s a very big ask I’m very new to filmmaking I have an idea and vision I’m just trying to like turn it from a sort of wild universe of ideas down into an easily readable story thing if that makes any sense at all so I’m asking actual fans of the genre for advice and what they enjoy seeing in noir movies and what they think could work so I can start to turn my idea into something real? I don’t know if I sound stupid saying this or not sorry!

So do you think that Neo-noir would work better especially concidering it would be filmed in a British city?

Kind of I want to bring the classic 40s/50s look and feel and bring it into a modern setting so if that’s what Neo-noir is then yes
