Please continue working on your documentary projects during 1st period. Review and understand the various film jobs from our last post. Use this list to label and decide who will be given credit for various jobs as you create your documentary. It is a good idea to keep a hand written list so no one gets left out of the credits. Feel free to begin working on your credits in addition to any editing you are doing.
During 2nd period, please stop your work and attend to the screening of the Maltese Falcon.
As you watch the film, look for these common Film Noir elements. Record what you find in your notebook:
1. A protagonist who is cynical or detached
2. A femme fatale who leads the protagonist astray
3. A mystery, crime, or use of suspense
4. A naive scapegoat to take the rap of some "crime"
5. Goons (hired criminals who give the protagonist a hard time)
6. Razor sharp dialogue
7. Shadows and the use of low key lighting
You will be writing a review paper analyzing The Maltese Falcon. Please pay attention and take notes.

Script can be found in the workshop folder. And its website to get yourself a copy of the PDF is here.
