How our Idea Fits Conventions

I looked at how our idea fits the conventions of film noir:

Crime/mystery genre – There is mystery behind who set the characters up for committing the crime
Male protagonist – Donovan is our protagonist
Protagonist is dominant representation of men – Donovan is a wealthy businessman with a devoted wife who does all the homemaking for him
Mysterious female character with a big role – The femme fatale is the villain and has one of the most important roles in the narrative
Love – The femme fatale's motives are because of the love that she lost
Corrupt police – The police seem to be plotting something
Urban setting – Streets will be used for a lot of the action
Complicated narrative with many different storylines – There's a lot going on
