5 minute Short film
Concept
An assassin, obsessed with his work, who is struggling with the death of a loved one, is followed by death on a journey of self reflection and humanity
We witness this assassin grow and develop over the course of the film through the at of killing and his conversations with death. Death being the deceased loved one.
During the course of the film we see him regaining his ability to love and is approached by someone that propels him into that idea.
By the end of the film we need to see the culmination of development from killing and meeting people and also deaths conversations.

Visuals
Colour grading
The colour grading will be bold and contrasting. I want to match the dark narrative with a dark but visible pallet
Aiming to keep quite close to characters to give an intimate and claustrophobic feel while also breaking them up with wide distant shots to show the loneliness in the man
