Log Line: An assassin is hired for a hit but experiences some conflicts with who he is trying to kill.

A dark room with a single ceiling lamp on. A man in a suit is sitting there with an his face in the shadows. Another man in a suit walks into the room. The man seems very gruff and dirty with a very serious look on his face he stops right in front of the the desk. There is complete silence for a moment.

He greets the man with a very low monotone voice, with little emotion. The man at the desk responds and calls him "Joe". He slides a folder across the desk. the gruff man opens the folder and slowly shifts through it looking at every sheet. The man at the desk then brings a large
leather briefcase and slides it across the table. the gruff man takes the case and opens it. the audience can not see what is in. The gruff man says "its been a pleasure" and leaves.

The gruff man is seen in his small apartment at his desk. He has a concentrated face and looks like he is working hard. He continues to search through the folder. He finds an address and sates it out loud.

Chinatown

I felt our reasearch question did a good job of drecting itself to Chinatown as well as to Film noir as a whole. The ideas and themes of the characters dialougue of chinatown can also be seen in other film noir film.

I also felt like our examples where pretty strong. we were able tu use specialized characters and how they use dialougue. All the characters use dialougue to add something to the story.

We could have use more screenshots. That would have made it easier to explain my part and how getties uses his dialougue to advance the story.
