Radio Noir


I'd never though of radio as an effective way of telling a story, but I think it just works perfectly with Noir... it is even more mysterious because you're not actually seeing what it's happening; you need to imagine the whole set up, how the characters look like, their faces, their clothes, how they are feeling according to their voice level, etc. Radio Noir usually seems like if you're listening the real people having a natural talk, it does not look like plain and dull radio transmission, but it neither looks like an overacted piece. (I really liked when actors start talking with themselves, it's like hearing oneself talking with one's conscience) Besides, I think there's a really nice sound composition beside the actors' voices (background music, background voices, sounds of cars, horses, police sirens, etc.)
