Tips for Better Results

1

Explicitly include 'chiaroscuro lighting' and 'volumetric light rays' for dramatic shadow contrast.

2

Use 'silver halide film grain' or 'Tri-X 400 black and white film' to achieve realistic analog texture.

3

Keep aspect ratio '--ar 4:5' for dramatic vertical character alignment or '--ar 16:9' for movie scenes.

4

Avoid mentioning multiple modern lights so the single streetlamp remains the dominant light source.
