Aims of the film

Horror

After a long and heated debate we decided that the best idea was to plan out a horror film , specifically a zombie film. the general idea for the zombie film is linked directly with current events, we have chosen to call our virus Zebola which is zombies mixed with ebola. with the 3 minutes we have to make an impression we plan to show the audience 3 main things;

We firstly intend to show them a news broadcast that gives away the symptoms of the virus and tells us what it does and that its incurable, this will give a certain sense of severity to the situation and will make the audience a bit more shocked when we kill 2 characters in the first 3 minutes.

Secondly we want to be able to show three characters to the audience, we need to show them the worrying female character who is just concerned for her husbands and her well being, we want to show the dismissive male character who doesn't understand the gravity of the situation he and his partner are in (we could do this by giving the audience a sense of irony when he says "theres nothing to worry about" only to be yanked out of the door two minutes later by a zombie), and last but not least we want to show the zombie character (he doesn't have to be portrayed as a violent killing machine straight away, maybe we could show him as patient zero in a parallel action shot and show the audience how he turns into one of them)

Lastly we want to show the male character turning (extreme close up of his eyeballs changing maybe by dilating the pupils or by the yes glassing over) due to the bite he will receive during the struggle, we also want to show that the virus is spreading. (we can do this by killing 3 characters off in the space of 3 minutes and we show at the same time how easily its transferred and how dangerous it is by infecting one of the characters during the fight).
