Opening Idea First Draft - Final Project

This is the opening scenario of my final project. It is a basic draft so it doesnt have a title or character names.


The film opens with a shot of a TV playing a news cast, showing reports of violent attacks. The channel is then flicked over multiple times, to other news channels, showing reports of violent attacks, outbreaks, world wide chaos and that the dead is walking the earth. The TV then goes all static, before the screen turns to black. The films title then splats across the screen like blood and then drips off the screen. The same effect is repeated for the rest of the opening credits. After the opening credits, it cuts to the main protagonist (insert name), running down a rural cycle track, reaching the bottom of a hill. He stops and looks up to the top of the hill, where he sees his friend (insert name) get over run by zombies, as some have started to maul him to death, while the rest run past still in pursuit of (insert name). (Insert name) starts to run, still following the cycle track, with the zombies still in hot pursuit of him, as he is running, the film freezes on him, this is where his opening monologue begins. While he is in freeze frame the background goes all red and outline features of (insert name) are all turned to black, with the out line of zombies in the background going black, and (insert name) name appears next to his outline. The frame then unfreezes and (insert name) then carries on running, with his monologue still playing, two more zombies then jump out of a bush taking him by surprise and follow in the chase of (insert name). After running a bit more, he appears in front of 5 strangers, who tell him to get down, as the stranger then open fire on the zombies, taking them all down. One zombie is still alive on the floor as one of the strangers walks over and savagely beats the zombie to death. The stranger then walks back to the rest of his crew and the film freeze frames again on these five people, with the same red and black filter affect happening, and it introducing them as the Outlaws. The leader of the Outlaws, (insert name), then introduces his gang and all its members, (insert names), and then telling (insert name), that they can take him to safety.

  1. Have you gone to sleep, Greg? Could do with a lot more activity on this blog. Make sure your blog entries from this point forward are as detailed as some of your previous ones; you really need to be going into extreme detail about what you've done, how it links to your research, whether it is what you want, any problems you have faced and how you have overcome them. Also keep an eye on your evaluation - have you enough to say for each of the sections? Make sure you have considered audience, representation and institutions. You should be averaging 3/4 entries a week, so by the end of Jan you should have between 12-20 entries. Keep an eye on James's blog, since you can link to some of the stuff he is uploading.
