This blog is for my media coursework at AS level. It includes research into thriller films so that my group and I will eventually plan and produce our own two minutes into a thriller film. I'm working with Ellie Borgman, Phoebe McGunigal and Alex Price. To see their blogs, here are the links; http://www.elliejborgman.blogspot.co.uk/ http://08mcgpho.wix.com/media-studies

Double Indemnity (1944)
Double Indemnity is an example of a film noir. Its about an insurance rep who lets himself be talked into a murder/insurance scheme to be with a woman who he loves. The woman claims that she loves him too and suggests that they plan to murder her husband and then they can be together and also be left with her husbands money. Seeing as the lover is an insurance rep, he understands what would be best way to murder her husband so that they won't get caught and will be able to be left with the husbands belongings and money. However his friend who is an insurance investigator starts to become suspicious and Walter (the lover) starts to feel guilty and begins to doubt the woman love for him. Seeing as, this is a film noir, the woman is the femme fetale of the film and ends up just using Walter to get rid of her husband but keep all the money.
