Assess students' ability to analyze how cinematic techniques—editing, mise-en-scène, lighting, and sound—produce moral ambiguity and unreliable perspective in classic 1940s–1950s film noir. Tasks: close scene analysis, identification of formal devices (chiaroscuro, oblique framing, montage, voice-over, diegetic/non-diegetic sound), evaluation of their narrative and ethical effects, and evidence-based written argument citing specific films or shots.
