Femme Fatalities Message Board

At the first viewing of a video I want to see plot that includes some character development. I subsequent viewings, I may cut straight to the death scenes, but at least in my mind, I know how the characters arrived at the point of conflict.

Agree with MAX ..Add a few good lines a little phone call,some coniving deserving plot and the prolonged money shot.Would rather sacrifice unrelated filler for substance.Language props and a scenario theme sets the mood . With model cost and travel expenses sometimes more concise shoots could be cost effective.

I personally love the backstories: they create the mood and the climax for the whole scenario!
Of course, to have a great backstory you need a great actress, like Petra or Suzi: many nice girls can die, just a few can really act!

To me, the scenario is VERY important. I like to see the "bad girl" get what's coming to her and the scenario establishes that she deserves it.

Hi Blue,

I like to see good acting, from both the male and the female. There has to be some sort of plot, or story line. Build up is important. I prefer the strong female character, the bitch that gets what's coming to her...I think most men would agree on that. Also some sort of sexual tension. One angle is when the female is discovered, she uses her body as weapon to escape or double cross her victim. A little seduction is what I am saying. I prefer handguns as weapons of choice. I prefer belly and breast shots mostly. I like 3-5 rounds plugged in them. Some great facial expression when they are hit, along with great moans and groans. A few uttered phrases as they cup their wounded breast like "you bastard" are a plus. Some blood, no buckets for me. Eyes open or shut are both good. I could go on and on. With that said, I guess I am not asking for too much,

thanks

Kevin,

Your post suggests a very good point. When I develop plots, I like to use the killing (or set up) of an innocent victim as the reason to kill the main bad gal(s). I also love doublecross themes where the victims are sometimes innocent.

Max Kevin and AIM echo your views .Coniving models that entertain danger are entertaining.If you have a reason for the payback set it out..

Generally speaking, I only need about 5 minutes of setup to establish context.

I also like subtext but I think that evil can be established in a matter of seconds.

I have done both long story lines where the femme fatale gets hers near the end of the film, and also started the film where the femme fatale gets shot within the first few seconds of a a film, but her evil is still well established by nothing more than a sneer while she fires her gun into a crowd that is just off camera.

I like there to be some reason for a "victim" to be killed.

In the case of Blue's recent script that we did I played a completely evil super villainess, while Petra played a dark heroine, and Kerie a call girl who is not really evil or dark at all, but just trying to use her beauty to her advantage.

I strangle Kerie in this film. (Perhaps that would be of interest to you Nyghtfall) She dies the death of an innocent yet there is a reason for her death. My character doesn't just attack her out of the blue. (no pun inteneded Blue )

In the case of Petra, her character is more complex. She allows the innocent girl to die and is capable of tricking my character so that I too die from a trap that Petra's character set for me just in case I were to also kill her (which of course I do)

All of this action happens in about a 10 minute period...(That is my guess because it is as of yet unedited)

Hopefully for those of you who enjoy subtext...evil characters, interesting heroines with some edge, or the relatively innocent victim who is just involved with the wrong kind of people...the film I am talking about will hold some interest.

I agree with Nightfall. In fact I would go so far as saying five minutes is the maximum amount of setup time required, and in many instances two to three minutes are enough to establish the simple plot. After all, these videos aren't suspense melodramas. We all know what the outcome will be. While there definitely is an art in making successful snuff fantasy videos -- they aren't in themselves high art.

Excessively long setups are one of my pet peeves. Most of us have probably had the experience of sitting through a seemingly endless setup, only to have it lead to a disappointingly weak climax. In these situations it seems likely the producer has padded his video with extra runtime to fool the consumer into thinking he's getting a lot for his money. The other explanation would be the producer simply doesn't know what he's doing.

I like to see some build up before the kill. It provides time for the bad girl to display both her badness and beauty, creating lost of arousal before the payoff and the pleasure of anticipation.

I like aimhigh's description and find his preferences similar to mine.

Dalila enjoyed your post and your iideas of sub plots within a story line.Hope to see some edited pics of your shoot with Blue.Also thinks you and Kerie could do some great scenarios.These recent shoots will be much anticipated.
