State of Play

Immediately, the audience is inched in to the story of a murder. The first image we see is a man recklessly running through the city at night, in a manner that indicates that he is running from something treacherous. As the man finally finds a safe spot and rests, he gets shot. As if one murder were'nt enough, a passerby is also also shot by the murderer.

Intrigued and curious, the audience is then taken to the Washington Globe, a newspaper that is covering the story. Russel
