Film Noir

1. For me Film Noir is a cinematic term used to describe stylish Hollywood crime dramas, particularly those that emphasize cynical attitudes and sexual motivations.

2. For critics Film Noir is not a genre its a way of art in the making of the dark ages of cinema

3. All the films I have seen that are film noir is Double Indemnity, and Blade Runner. Fritz Lang, and Otto Preminger.

Film Studies Binder Check

1. I have organized my binder, Chronologically how Mr. Schreiber gave me the papers

2. We do very informative assignments. We study movies from head to toe, on how we look at things in a very imperfect point of view.

3. We are at 1940 - 1945. Where Orson Welles makes Citizen Kane, and during World War II, propoganda films are made for the first time en masse.

4. Yes, it has changed. I used to think films were boring, but actually they seem to be living beings and that they represent the true artist in a director

5. We have done impressing projects, that really help us on how to understand the history of film and film techniques.
