We have made a number of significant changes to our OTS since our initial storyboard idea. We were struggling to fit our film into noir conventions. The ending of the femme fatale waking up in a modern setting was particularly implausible and much more suited to a picture set in present day. We changed this to a title appearing on the screen reading '6 DAYS EARLIER', fading into a scene of a poker game being played between three men. One man says 'We have a proposition for you' before the screen cutting to black.
*UPDATE - Wednesday 21st March*
We have changed our idea further after a meeting today. We decided that much of our original idea would be difficult to film and would likely not transfer and give the desired effect in the finished product. We were also having trouble sorting schedules for Ivan to film his part.
NEW SYNOPSIS
The femme fatale has a penchant for poker against female opponents. Anyone who beats her meets a grisly end. She has a good luck charm - a doll that she takes to every game and leaves at every murder scene.
The new working title is WINNER DIES.
The cast for our OTS is:
- Abbie Hampson as the femme fatale
- Pip Evanson as opponent and victim
- Olivia Shearing as journalist investigating the murders
- Poker chips and cards
- Doll
- Rocking Chair
