Our film

We have decided to create a short film in the genre of film noir detective. We know that the codes and conventions are closely similar to those of crime or detective fiction. We have already decided on our setting, actors and have recently worded our plot that would be shown on our films webpage. We have titled our film 'Marilyn' as it is common in film noir to name the film after who it is written about. It is also short enough to grab peoples attention but not give much away on the storyline.


Plot
An independant female detective takes on one of the most twisted crimes in the history of his job, that soon becomes a challenge that tests life and death to the ultimate level.
Storyline
Start of the scene is Marilyn ringing the police to say her husband has been murdered. She is the murdered.  Cut to the police ar her house, all that is visual is a chalk outline. The detective begins to ask questions, interrogates Marilyn. He doesn't suspect her to be the murder. She then finds out someone knows her secret, and kills them so it doesnt get uncovered anymore. Clues are gradually found by the detective which all piece together to show Marilyn is in fact the murderer. When he arrives at her house to arrest her she attempts to kill him but before the knive is pulled out the detectives partner enters and kills her before she gets away with anymore murders.
