Ideas for Film Noir.

Ideas of Our Group.

- Backstreet/Alley
- Male and Female Detective
- Femme Fatale finds husbands body in back alley.
- Male and Female detective arrive
- Cross cut to office, femme fatale getting interrogated.
- Femme Fatale starts crying, getting flashbacks of fighting with her husband
- Voice over talking to police detective while flashbacks on screen

The storyline of our film sequence will be based on a male and female detective. We have decided to use a female detective as this challenges the genre conventions and character types associated with class film noir's. Our film is based on a murder of a man shot by an anonymous gunman. The identity of the gunman is not known until the end of the film where there will be a shock twist to expose the killer, however this will not be shown in our short sequence. In our sequence the audience will be led to believe that the mans wife was the person who killed him. The mans wife will be under interrogation by the male and female detectives in a classic room style. The wife will play the femme fatale role in our sequence.
An establishing shot will show the man walking home, and then found dead by his wife in a back alley. This is where the detectives will be introduced as they arrive on the scene. The camera will then crosscut to the police station showing the detectives interviewing the mans wife. A voice over will be used to show the woman's experience and flashbacks will be used to show previous parts of her life e.g. when she found her husband.
