Our chosen social group we wanted to reach out for was women, possibly some women that believe in feminist views as per say. We made our lead feminine role very strong independent character, but her motives were on the bad side. How people interpret the character could go both way, one way could say that women are evil, and seduce men into doing their awful bidding, on the other hand women may look up to this strong feminine role, as it symbolises that women are powerful and have full control over situations involving the masculine. 
The way we presented our Femme Fatale Vivienne was a strong character who seduces a detective to help her get out of murder. We made sure she looked glamorous, Curly short hair, red lipstick, Vintage style clothing which were expensive looking and made her watch several screenings of scenes from other Film Noir's so she could develop her posture to convey certain messages on screen. The way she dressed is how a lot of girls dress nowadays, as people go looking for vintage clothing trying to get the 40s look. Girls will look up to this as usual 'men' are usually the central focus in films whereas we have developed a female role people can kind of aspire too. We also made our actress take on some characteristics of the Ingénue, as she needs to come across innocent to the detective before she shows her true colours.Films that we took inspiration from for our Femme Fatale:
- Phyllis Dietrichson - Double Indemnity
- Kathy Moffet - Out Of The Past
- Catherine Tramell - Basic Instinct
- Bridget Gregory - The Last Seduction
- Theda Bara a.k.a The Vamp - A fool there was
