Detective: He must have entered from here and took him out from this very angle so we can tell that this killer was a professional and must have a military background of some sought.

Officer: Carry one

Detective: This kill is similar to the previous ones we've looked at however they are not as precise. It lacked the cleanliness and professionalism of the first.

Close Up: This close up shot allows the audience to see the hitmans calm reaction to the called by his distressed associate. This helps the audience create an idea of the hitmans laid back and professional attitude. Over the shoulder: This second close up shot allows the audience to see the Hitman crossing out a previously mentioned name in his per...
