Our film

We’ve decided to create a short film in the genre of film noir detective. We already know the codes and conventions are similar to those of crime or detective fiction. We also decided on our setting and actors. We have titled our film as 'Marilyn' as it is common in film noir to name the film after the main character. Our plot is an independent female detective who takes on a crime that soon becomes a challenge that tests life and death to the ultimate level. Storyline starts off with the first scene of Marilyn ringing the police to say her husband has been murdered. What the audience don’t know is that she is in fact the killer of her husband. A quick cut to the police at her house, all that is visual is a chalk outline. The detective then begins to ask questions, interrogating Marilyn. He doesn't suspect her to be the murder. She then works out  that someone knows her secret, and kills them so it doesn’t get uncovered anymore. Clues are gradually then found by the detective which she then pieces together to show that Marilyn is in fact the murderer. When he arrives at her house to arrest her she attempts to kill him but before the knife is pulled out the detectives partner enters and kills her before she gets away with anymore murders.
