Opening Title Sequence- Location and Mise-en-scene

For our filming location we were planning on using the schools dark room as is it gives us more control over lighting. Which means the way in which we use lighting will be more effective. We are also using the room as it is convenient, low cost and happens to have the equipment we need (e.g lighting). We may use a different location but that has been undecided. But our current plan is to just use the dark room as we do not plan on revealing too much about the story in the opening title sequence.

As for our props we plan on using props that are commonly used in noir such as;

Alcohol
Drugs
Playing cards
Poker chips
Newspapers
Blood
Cigarettes
Smoke
