Aims and Context

For part of the assessed work, I have to hand in the following aims and context of my short film:

Aims:

My target audience is people (male and female) in the age range 15-30 as they are the main audience for my chosen genre. Two main stylistic inspirations are Silent Hill (Christoph Gans 2006) and The Ring (Gore Verbinski, 2002). My main purpose is to progress the narrative while creating tension and fear in the audience, and reflect the character’s fears. The stylistics I will use most effectively are editing and mise-en-scene, as they will allow me to achieve my purpose and be useful for incorporating the conventions of psychological horror such as flashbacks (i.e. an editing feature,) and cramped mise-en-scene to show internal entrapment.

Context:

I am going to make a short 4-5 minute film of the psychological horror genre called “Forget Me Not”.
