Aims & Context

Aims –  The main purpose for this sequence is the development of Akira's character and to show how much power Lucifer has over him; through the use of quick-cutting. Through the use of colour coding within the mise-en-scene I aim to show the audience Akira's perception of the world; some shots will be done in black and white, to show how Akira sees the world as a dull and boring place. Through the use of quick-cutting, I aim to show the audience how Lucifer is in control; one such example will be a conversation between the two at the beginning of my sequence, where Lucifer forces Akira to cooperate with him.

Context – I am creating an extended sequence from an imagined feature. The sequence I have chosen is the scene in which the main protagonist Akira is introduced to Lucifer, and his mannerisms.My role in the project will be of the director, producer, editor and cinematographer. I am targeting the horror audience, ages of 17-25. People of this age group usually have jobs and are university students; they have disposable income. People in this audience will spend their money on luxury items; cinema tickets for example. They go to the cinema with their friends, and despite males preferring action films and females preferring drama films, everyone likes to get scared and so they go see a horror film.
