THE EXCHANGE TREATMENT
We are using several diverse shot such as from above which can be seen as representing vulnerability of the male’s character. There are also shots from under the femme fatales feet to show a sense of power and domination: we are using natural lighting but are going to convert the video into black and white to play homage to the previous film noirs. We are going to record background sound and use it to add to the atmosphere. We will also use non digetic/ parallel sound to aid the tension within the scenes. The piece we choose needs to be dark and mysterious but also quick and fast paced so that it flows with the shots.
The opening scene starts by panning up the femme fatale. We have used a pencil skirt and heels as well as dark make up and curls within her hair. The heels we felt represented a successful, intelligent women and the skirt to make her sexy. This, we felt, gave life to our character as a true femme fatale.
Our next shot is off the male coming out of the elevator. He is dressed in a manipulative but average way. A pea coat is worn to indicate style but the colours are dark and of the usual. The next shots are of the exchange, these are short, sharp and fast paced shots to repres
ent the pace and anxiousness of the exchange between the two, hoping that it will go unnoticed. We also have shots of the femme fatale walking over the camera to show her place of power upon the protagonist. The shots of the exchange of the letter between the two are close ups. This indicates to the audience that an exchange has taken place. Our only prop used was the pink envelope that our male character opens. The colour pink was decided on because we felt it represented femininity.
