The femme fatale is a woman who enjoys to play poker with other female opponents. The doll we originally used, is now her mascot. The doll is old and creepy-looking, but this is the woman's way of knowing she will win in the poker game. However on the rare occasion she does not win, she copes by brutally murdering the opponent and (sometimes) hanging her from a free as her punishment.
In our OTS we are going to show the original shots of the doll, and then a poker game of the femme fatale losing and murdering her female opponent. A journalist will then come in and talk the audience through what has happened giving them more of an understanding.

Reflective Comments
Our new idea seems a lot more easier to produce than our original idea. As well as being much easier for us, it also fits more of the film noir conventions whereas our previous idea didn't fit that many.
