Shooting a suspense sequence at night for a microbudget thriller, can be difficult since you don't have permission to light the streets, and people complain about generators making noise of course. I was watching Dirty Harry (1971), and noticed how a lot of the night scenes, like this one, are underexposed in a lot of the picture:

And also some of the street shots like the one at 1:18 into this clip are also underexposed:
But nowadays, when you are trying to make a good if not great impression, and break into the business, would this type of underexposing for a microbudget film be thought of as artistic or amateur?
In my camera, though, there is a lot more noise, so I guess I will have to denoise it, if that is acceptable as well.
What do you think? Thanks.
