Femme Fatale

A femme fatale is an alluring and seductive woman whose charms ensnare her lovers in bonds of irresistible desire, often leading them into compromising, dangerous, and deadly situations. She is an archetypal character of literature and art. Her ability to entrance and hypnotize her male victim was in the earliest stories seen as being literally supernatural, hence the most prosaic femme fatale today is still described as having a power akin to an enchantress, vampire, female monster or demon. The ideas involved are closely tied to fears of the female witch and misogyny. To some, the femme fatale "remains an example of female independence and a threat to traditional female gender roles."

We have decided to use a femme fatale in our opening title sequence. She has red lips and dark curly hair, we made her look sophisticated and to try not to smile too much. This is because femme fatale's don't smile much, and are after people for money. We are planning on making our film about a femme fatale trying to steal a man's money and lead them on, but obviously we are only doing the opening title sequence, so this will be when she first meets the man and we will first meet the femme fatale.
