Sometimes when we think of the 1940s we see everything in greyscale because of the cinematic qualities that arise out of this time. Images are retained in black and white, sometimes grainy and old. These are qualities of another time, and see how you can incorporate them into a Christmas scene. It can describe just about any place you’d like, preferably somewhere that people decorate or gather. For example, you could picture a mall or shopping scene and describe it with these noir like qualities. What feelings are associated with this sense of place and what kind of people are there? Is it the current time or are we back in the past in your Christmas scene? What types of sensory experiences does this place invoke? Feel free to observe or be an active participant in what’s going on in your 1940s setting.
