Double Indemnity

The title appears at the end of the opening Credits and as the man on crutches limps closest to the screen.

It's all based around the Los Angeles Railway and the Main characters work place.

Similar to Kiss Me Deadly it's late 1900's so old coats and top hats are worn by the actors.

I thought the way they made the lift buttons flash after every floor they passed so I put it as my Interesting work/ editing shot.

Both the title and font style are old fashioned and elegant.

It begins with someone jumping through a red light to get somewhere, he then pulls up outside his company late at night. He goes up to his office and records something like a memo confessing to murdering someone.

It becomes a Thriller but the build up of unanswered questions like for example why is he in such a hurry to get to his office. Why is he recording a message and who did he kill and why?

The door tender greets him by name "Mr Neff" which means he must be important. And he is because he is the boss of the company he works in law and insurance.

And I liked this shot of Mr Neff looking a row upon row of desks were his employees would sit down and do their work because it makes the workplace seem more orderly.
