Ideas and synopsis.

Ideas
- Backstreet/alley
-Male & Female detective
-Femme Fatale finds husbands body in back alley
-Male and Female detective arrive
-Cross cut to office, femme fatale getting interrogated
-Femme Fatale starts crying, getting flash backs of fighting with husband
-Voice over talking to police detective while flashbacks on screen.

The story line of our film sequence will be based on a male and female main detectives. We have decided to use a female detective as this challenges the genre conventions and character types associated with classic film noir's. The film will be based on a murder of a man shot by an anonymous gunman. The identity of the gunman is not know until the end of the film where a shock twist is used to expose the killer, however this will not be shown in our short sequence. In our sequence though, the audience will be lead to believe that the mans wife was the one who killed him. The mans wife will be under interrigation by the male and female detectives in a classic interview room style. The wife will play the femme fetal role in our sequence. An establishing shot will show the man walking home, and then found dead by his wife in a back ally. This is where the two detectives will be introduced as they arrive on the scene. The camera will then jump to the police station showing the detectives interviewing the mans wife. A voice over will be used to show the woman's experience and flashbacks will be used to show previous parts of her life e.g. when she found her husband.
