Typically in Film Noir protagonists are almost invariably men, usually detectives or criminals characterized by pessimism, self doubt, or a cold, detached view of the world. Women are usually sexually alluring but treacherous, leading the protagonists into danger for their own selfish needs. The common setting for a film noir would be a big city, especially at night; shiny, rain-slicked pavements, dark alleyways and sleazy bars. Many of the films use distinctive high and low angles, low key lighting, extreme wide angle lenses and location shooting.
