The lighting in film noir's is generally low key and the use of fill lights is usually restricted giving it a dark sense, when lighting is used it creates shadows to further emphasise the dark atmosphere. When it comes to location, noir's are nearly always filmed in urban cities and directors use rain to make the films seem more dull and dark.
These pictures show a typical noir film, the picture on the left shows an everyman watching the rain giving him the idea of being 'broken', whilst the second picture shows the urban location they were generally filmed in.
