Planning!

Today we found out which groups we will be in, I'm with Serena,Ellythea and Mikayla. We decided that we are going to have 2 main characters, one being a husband and another being a feme fatale. We are then going to have 2 other characters that will only appear once, these characters will be a dead girl and then a detective. We haven't worked out our storyline yet but we will be doing this next lesson.

Femme Fatale

A femme fatale is a character of a mysterious and seductive woman who charms her loves often leading them to compromising, dangerous and deadly situations. This woman usually has something to do with the series of events that are occurring or about to occur. These are the most direct attack on the stereotypical woman; as she does not play the devoted stay at home wife or mother. Majority of these femme fatales usually have very long hair usually red or black, very pale skin but they do not have to physically beautiful but majority of the time they are.

Film Noir

Film noir is a style or genre of cinematographic film marked by a mood, it’s a cinematic term used primarily to describe stylish Hollywood crime dramas. Visual characteristics tend to use dramatic shadows, defined contrast, low-key lighting and usually black & white. Majority of films that have been made were shot in cities and nighttime shooting is very common. Close up shots on people’s faces are used to create a dramatic effect. It is well known for its use of low and wide angled shots, they usually use characters such as corrupt cops, alienated protagonist, misogynist men and femme fatale.
