Due to the fact Neo-Noir is a style often seen in modern motion pictures and other forms that prominently utilize elements of film noir, but with updated themes, content, style, visual elements or media that were absent in films noir of the 1940s and 1950s. we felt this would be better for our film as it is closely associated with films of its time of nowadays and because of this is why we chose to use Neo-Noir.
