Inspiration for sound in our Thriller

We like the non-diegetic opening music to Sunset Boulevard. Something along those lines as far as style of the music is concerned would work quite nicely in our thriller, maybe with a faster pace. Like Sunset Boulevard our thriller starts with a death and is from the perspective of the dead man, about his life and his death. In order to show this, we have taken the idea from the film to use a voice over from his point of view. Our detective (who dies) will open the thriller and set the scene for the viewers. The use of a voice over also helps to highlight that it is a 40s style film as this is a typical feature of that era. We will be using Mike from Canada (Image below) to do the voice over for us, because he's got the ideal accent we our looking for our detective to have.

What is a Femme Fatale

One of the most influential Femme Fatales in recent years is Catherine Tramell in the film Basic Instinct this has automatically inspired to choose a blond actor for our Femme Fatale character. This is why we have chosen the Actress Dayana.

Another very influential Femme Fatale is Laura from the film Brick this is why we Have chosen Anna with her dark hair she will suit the part very well.

Although we haven't specifically chosen the Femme Fatale yet both of these people are our top 2 candidates for the part.

Definition of a femme fatale: A mysterious and seductive woman whose charms ensnare her lovers in bonds of irresistible desire, often leading them into dangerous/deathly situations. The femme fatale is often described as an enchantress, seductress or witch. A femme fatale tries to achieve her hidden purpose by using feminine wiles such as beauty, charm, and sexual allure.

Where does the phrase come from: The femme fatale archetype exists in the culture, folklore and myth of many cultures. It comes from the French expression "deadly woman".

Examples of femme fatales: The Lady from Shanghai (a 1947 film noir)- In this the femme fatale is actually a victim, caught in a she cant escape from.

This is a convicted spy Mata Hari who made her name synonymous with femme fatale during WW1.

Other femme fatales include; Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth, Nabokov's Lolita, Defoe's Moll Flanders.
