Femme Fatal character interpretation

This is my SlideShare on my interpretation of Film Noir shots and what is a typical Femme Fatal typically look like and examples. To create our photos we decided what scene from our story board we were going to create. We decided on the casino scene, so we could introduce the long sexy ball gown style dress of the femme fatal. For our props we had a casino set with chips, dice and cards, a table and a cigarette holder. For my costume I chose a black and white dress to follow the conventions of a film noir style. I had statement jewellery of a purl necklace  and earrings to symbolise she is seducing her victims. My red lipstick adds depth to the picture and creates reflections of light and really stand out in the photos. The lighting we used was the softer more yellow light because the bright light washed me out on the pictures because of my skin tone and hair colour. We experimented with different amounts of light, and the angles to see which one created the best shadow to follow the film noir conventions.

  1. excellent work - to extend please add more extended analysis explaining the conventions - put them into the context of the era and the narrative
