THE FEMME FATALE CHARACTER.

In our media project we have one character which is the Femme Fatale. The typical characteristics of a femme fatale;
she would typically be, Alluring, mysterious,glamourous,duplicitous, subversive, double-crossing, gorgeous, unloving, predatory, tough-sweet, unreliable, irresponsible, manipulative.
they are women who are dangerously seductive and always in control.
Femme fatale literally means "fatal woman" in French. It can be defined as "the kind of woman men want...but shouldn't have!".
At the start of a film noir the Femme Fatale would typically be in control, she would have the male protagonist (the hero) where she wanted him.
Although they start out as the dangerous, powerful ones they always meet their match and it is common that they die at the end of the film noir.
They are related to red and black clothing and make-up, which gives the feeling of danger.
An example of a typical modern real life Femme Fatale is Dita Von Teese a burlesque dancer.
we will be styling our Femme Fetale around Dita von teese, red lipstick, pale skin, dark smokey eyes, much like her look in this picture.

    As you complete the practical element you must need to complete reflective comments on strenths, weaknesses and targets/outcomes after every session before things slip from your memory.
