Aims & Context

For my second year production work, I am creating a 5minute film and establish the context of my film. My role for making this film is director/producer
The first aspect I need to look at is defining a recognisable audience, so that I can fit my film to this audiences expectations and interests. My film will hopefully follow the codes and conventions of the horror genre. The age and gender however took me a lot more time to define and narrow the choice down. The age I have chosen my film to be aimed at more to young adults, as i find that they particularly enjoy horror films more than older people. I think the film genre applies a much younger audience because they would have experienced other films, and also they are much familar with horror genre films. Stylistics and formal influences is another area I need to look at are what is found in all horror genre which are the main conventions. Elements such as the dark picture, non-linear storylines, a villian/murder/or something obnormal . I will use some of these stylists in my own film, so it will be recognisable as a horror genre
The role I am going to undertake mainly is the director and producer. I will choose all shots, which I think would suit what’s going on in the film. I will also director the actors, of their position in shot, and make sure they know what the individual in my film knows what her lines are.
