The aim here was to describe a potential scene, developing the images with Adobe Lightroom using features such as grain and vignette creating a vintage, old-film feel to aid with the noir atmosphere. The scene here was organised in such a way to suggest a path of motion for this person with the bag. The added post-crop vignette significantly emphasised the border of the lighting from the high shutter speed, further isolating the subjects and darkening the background. As well as this, the shift up in exposure followed by a significant manual contrast transforms the miniature's into silhouettes, which highlights the main central character focused on in each image, making sure to focus on centering and the rule of the thirds.

An additional bonus to these developments was after transforming the images into black and white as well as playing with the depth and grain caused some images to display various effects such as fog/smoke, and wet/rainy surfaces; it also made the light source occasionally present as a street-lamp when aided with the vignette due to to it's rounded area-of-effect.
