Assignment task:
Using a specific scene from the film Double Indemnity to make your case, explain how the film uses form to construct Phyllis as a femme fatale. The best responses will avoid just repeating what's in the lecture. Rather, they will take the concepts from the lecture(s) and use them to illustrate their own example. Then, think of a more contemporary example of a femme fatale from your own media consumption. How is the femme fatale iconography being signaled? What is its purpose for this show/game/movie/ad/music video? Is it nostalgia? An attempt to critique the concept of the femme fatale? Something else?
