With my writing, I'm delving into a noir fantasy world.

With this new novel I'm trying to write, I'm returning to a format of combining both first and third person perspectives, but via alternating chapters.

Technically, in the first person situation it is already done when the main character is observing others in the vicinity. Although the main perspective makes use of "I" and "me", when referencing others there has to be an employment of "he" and "she".

I'm simply taking it one step further by having two main characters where one has a first person POV and the other has a third person POV.

Something else I'm doing is using separate tenses. The first person perspective uses present tense while the third person perspective uses past tense. All of which is relevant to the plot.

That sounds like an interesting technique. I’m not really a fan of first person, as it seems to lessen whatever conflict the story is about. Yours seems like it would take care of that.

Chapter one was the first person, present tense point of view of the main character in a noir fantasy setting. It was a relatively easy chapter to write.

Had trouble deciding how to start chapter two, but I finally figured it out. It's the second main character with the third person past tense voice.

It has come to my attention, while continuing to struggle with writing the second chapter, that the first chapter has to be edited and re-written at its end.

Finished re-writing the end of chapter one. Decided that the second party character had to be someone different.
