Film Noir Slang

Do you have the sugar?
Yea I got the cabbage.
Did you pop him?
Nah, but I stuck it to him in the puss.
Did anyone see your guys confrontation?
I saw a punk walk by.
Do you think he will spill the beans to Johns?
No, it was a clean sneak.
Send some of our boys to pump metals at him?
Alright, we'll throw lead at him.

Film Noir

1. In your own words, define Film Noir.

My own definition of film noir is that they use setting and tone to describe the plot of the film and Film Noir is usually about crimes in the Forties and Fifties.

2. Compare your definition to the definition of the film critics.

I think that the definition of the film critics is a little more accurate and somewhat the same as mine. But I didn't get the part about the people crossing the lines and reaping the consequence.

3. Have you seen any of the quintessential films? Do you know any of the directors?

I have seen the most quintessential film which is An Inconvenient Truth. The director of that film is David Guggenheim.

Film Studies Binder Check

1. I organized according to the date that we did the assignment.
2. We have test, review sheets, essays, camera angles sheet, definition of terms, and etc....
3. We are on the year of 1941 on the timeline.
4. Yes, my view of the world of film has change a lot because I thought that back then they have sound like today. Also, I didn't know much about the film techniques and how the director use them to make it more interesting.
5. We have done Montage project, finding pictures to tell a story project, and currently podcast project. These projects help us understand it better and reinforce the stuff that we have learn in this class. I would think that the more we do project the better we are going to get at it.
