How are we using the conventions in out opening sequence?

conventions Use/develop/Develop purpose/decription

Femme Fatale Use• Dominant • Attractive• Leads men into danger• Flirtatious• Mysterious • Elegant• Manipulative• Serious • Smoking

In our movie we are using the convention of femme fatale:

• because our main character is a femme fatale, and she seduces men , and kills them after.

• the makeup is also of a femme fatale, which is a eyeliner on the eye on the top , and red lips.

How are we using the conventions in out opening sequence?

conventions Use/develop/challenge Purpose/Description

detective Use•Long coat•Men•Mysterious•Intelligent•Mature•Good looking•Neat

In our opening sequence we are using the convention of Detective.Because in the story the detective will be interrogating the femme fatale, he will be a very typical detective wearing a long coat , with a neat hair to the side.

How are we using the conventions in out opening sequence?

conventions Use/develop/challenge Purpose/description

crimes USE• Men murdered.• Tragically.• Obsession.• Paranoia from villain.• Femme fatal. • Suspicious .DEVELOP• The murderer looked

normal .• death scenes.

In our opening sequence we are using crimes because:• She kills the men• It is suspicious because we don’t

know what happensWe are developing it :because:• the murderer looks very normal

so Valentina is pretty normal , and doesn’t look as if she does any of the things she does.

Location

• The desk for investigation• This location will always be available.• Its at one of the group members house, its in Harlesden its very close to the school so it will be easy

to have access at any time to this place.• You can just walk from school to the house. About 7mins walk.• There are no health and safety concerns as it is situated at a safe

house.

By:Kauana

Creating enigma? • Not showing the full scenes.

• Showing her open the door, but not showing what happens at the end.

• Leaving the audience to think why is she admitting that she has killed them

• Where do the men go, you see them go in but not coming out.

• The narration is creating enigma, because at the end the narration is of the start of the poem Salome. It gets the audience to think.

Narrative

Film Theory?

• We are using the theory of Vladimir Propp came up with stereotyped characters•

Valetina(main girl) : will be the typical villain

The men( one of the men) :will be the typical victim

Mr Smith (investigator) :typical victim/helper.Luara&Kauana
