THE REVISED PITCHBy Ciaran, Harry, Jack, Jake
PLOT/STORYLINE• Opens with 2 characters eating/cooking breakfast around a campfire.• Talking about good times they had before the apocalypse maybe sharing
photos ect.• Hear noise/cracking in bushes behind them• Both characters immediately go to investigate and cant see anything• All of a sudden Character 3 jumps out from the bushes and kills a zombie
that was sneaking up behind the other 2• Character 3 shows the others what he managed to scavenge• After a discussion, they then decide this area is no longer safe as they
start to see some zombies in the distance and start to pack up to leave.
INSPIRATIONAL FILM: ZOMBIELAND
We aim to have similar shots to these to emphasise the use of weapons as it will
clearly show their lives are in danger.
We also want to have a strong emphasis on zombies
and gore to make it clear that it is a zombie film and will therefore be exciting
We Think having the text layered as if it were part of
the scene also is quiet effective as it looks very
professional
INSPIRATIONAL FILM: THE WALKING DEAD
These two shots will help create a sense of unease as it will show these locations are abandoned due to something
going wrong
We want to either use flashbacks or photos to
create narrative enigmas about the characters in our OTS when they are talking
about their pasts
We want our OTS to be set in an isolated area as it makes it seem like the characters
are miles away from any help
INSPIRATIONAL FILM: I AM LEGEND
These shots help show that the protagonist is now used
to the environment he has to live in as he seems very relaxed in the close ups
shown.
Again, these abandoned scenes create a sense of
unease as this would normally be a busy area but
there is no-one there.
Another set of shots to help emphasise the protagonist is in danger and therefore need
guns to protect himself
OUR USP• We will be showing how our characters have adapted to their new lives in
the apocalypse by jumping straight into the middle of the apocalypse and putting their lives at risk.
• We won't introduce much about the 3rd character, who will therefore be the cause of many narrative enigmas to hook the audience.
