Sometimes when the developers are creating a game they like to add secrets for the player to find. They are usually called Easter eggs. There are games that have become famous for creating Easter eggs like the grand theft auto games. This could be used when doing the game character design we could give them an Easter egg like a reference to another game or film.

This secret location would look good for a short horror film. It makes you wonder what has happened in this place, and it could be used to tell a creepy story of the locations dark past.

Film Noir is used a lot films that are to do with detectives, crime and thrillers. I think its only effective when the film is set in the right time period. I don't think it would work well in an action film unless its showing a flashback.

Another secret is in Call of duty blacks ops where you press certain buttons on the controller while in the main menu and you can break out of the seat that the character is sitting in and move around the room and also go onto a computer which you can type in cheats for the game.
