Film Noir

 

 

 

 Film noir films are described best as crime dramas,dark city street bathed in shadows. The scenes of film noir are all disturbingly familiar, as are the archetypal characters: the hard-boiled detective, the dangerously alluring femme fatale, and the well-heeled villain surrounded by gun-toting thugs. We've subverted our film with women playing male roles and our cast is mostly women and our detective being a woman rather than a male.

changing of genre

Having had a long discussion with my group we all feel that we should change the genre which was thriller to film noir detective because of thriller could class into the genre of horror. We decided to choose a short film, we tilited our film as `Marilyn` we thought this title would be good as it’s not giving away anything away with the film but also it’s a memorable name as it’s an woman’s name.

Storyline

In the opening scene Marilyn is ringing the police to say her husband has been murdered, She is the murder. We then cut   to the police at her house you don’t see the actual body, just the chalk outline. The detective begins to ask questions and interrogates but doesn’t suspect its Marilyn. She then finds out someone knows her secret, then commits another crime and kills somebody else, Clues are then found which leads the detective to Marylyn killing her husband.  The detective then goes to arrest her but she refuses and then again tries to kill the detective but luckily his partner is there and stops her and kills her before she can commit another murder.
