Storyboard for my music video

This my chosen song (Fuck Authority by Pennywise)

Introducation inspired by old films back in the 60's on a silver screen with a 8mm reel projector, as TV was only launched in 1976. The first 4 seconds of my video will be filmed in this fashion, but also with a film noir  style. How I will be able to reproduce a reel projector effect I do not know yet and will have to seek advice/research.
For example...
The Little Rascals 1930's - The tile section was burned by reel projector.

If I cannot achieve a quality like this then perhaps I'll go for a clearer 1930's style of reel projector appearance, such as the one from the award winning film "Inglorious Basterds" which was released not so long ago (2009)

Film noir is a cinematic term used primarily to describe stylish Hollywood crime dramas, particularly those that emphasize cynical attitudes and sexual motivations. Hollywood's classical film noir period is generally regarded as extending from the early 1940s to the late 1950s. Film noir of this era is associated with a low-key black-and-white visual style that has roots in German Expressionist cinematography. Many of the prototypical stories and much of the attitude of classic noir derive from the hardboiled school of crime fiction that emerged in the United States during the last depression.

So, what I need to do to achieve film noir to best of my potential is basically edit the filming to a very high contrast, have defined lighting/highlighting and have it in black and white. Sounds simple enough...
