Film Noir - Cindy

Planning

The first step of our planning was creating a storyboard of the plot for our Film Noir version of Cinderella. We decided that our main focus would be on the ‘femme fatale’ character of Cindy.

We then discussed what we wanted our photos to look like. We decided what angles we wanted to use and the props that we would need. We looked at existing still from some Film Noir films for inspiration and get ideas from them. From some of the pictures we looked at, we liked the different angles they used and so we planned to try them out.
