A lot of thought and time has gone into what exactly we are doing for this film opening. For our genre, my partner and I were thinking about what we should go with. Do we go with Film Noir or Horror? Well… we chose neither. We decided to go with a crime/drama genre. Now, a lot of Film Noirs have crime and drama in it, but we do not want to go with the stereotypes that the genre possess. For example, Film Noir is in black and white, but we really want to use color like red to add intensity. But one thing that the genres do have in common is independent female leads. Film Noir is known for femme fatale. Femme fatale is an attractive and seductive woman who uses her looks to manipulate men and gain power and money. Now this sense sets up the entire plot for our opening.
What Nicole and I were thinking for our plot is to have a female gang. This gang would be set in the 1930’s or 40’s and their leader was caught for a crime. We want the opening scene to be an interrogation and while the detective is asking the leader questions, there are going to be flashbacks to the scene of the crime. Now the flash backs won’t have the actual crime being committed, the audience will only see small details that have to do with the questions. In my next posting I will go more into depth about the characters and what tools and equipment we will be using in the opening. Stay tuned!
