Eve's Vulnerability

The camera is used to suggest her vulnerability - is at a very slight high-angle, showing the vulnerability of Eve. Her body language also suggests great vulnerability - she is leaning backwards with her hand covering her face, probably in shock. This Vulnerability proves to be significant as it does, shortly after this shot, lead to her inevitable murder.

  1. You need to identify elements of Eve which are convention of the femme fatale. Look up the definition on www.filmsite.org then apply to the characterisation of Eve. Also you may wish to explain the symbolism of her name.
