The document outlines a narrative concept for a short film about a zombie who faces discrimination in a normal world. It presents 6 sample scenes that follow the zombie as it experiences rejection from others and seeks companionship. Two alternative endings are proposed: a happy ending where the zombie finds love with another zombie, and a sadder ending where an attempted online date turns out to be a cruel trick. The document provides details on characters, settings, costumes, lighting and camera angles for each scene.

End Scene (Alternative Ending)

23. ALTERNATIVE ENDINGS
Zombie

24. WHY THE ENDINGS
Ok so we have decided to come up with more than one ending, an alternate
ending to be precise, this is because giving an alternate ending allows the
characters to have either a better or worse ending, some people like happy
endings some people like tragic endings. The first ending is a happy ending
and the second a tragic comedy ending.

25. ENDING 1
The first ending, runs along the lines of, the zombie gets a speed dating application
though the mail, and decides to go for the chance at speed dating because he/she is all
alone and has nothing to lose, and this could give the chance to be with some one.
The zombie then goes to the speed dating and every one who sees him/her runs away
or screams because of how he/she looks, then another zombie turns up at speed
dating. And the 2 zombie start talking, but after the night is over they go home and
don’t see each other for a while.
then one night the other zombie is knocking at the door because he/she liked the main
zombie in the speed dating. And they live “happily ever after”

26. ENDING 2
The second ending is more tragic, and rune along the line of instead of speed
dating, the zombie finds an online dating website, he/she signs up to the web
site, and instantly gets 3 reply's from users of the website and he/she check
them they run out to be only span mail, but the last one is an invite from
another zombie to a café near by, the zombie goes there and only sees 2
people there and he/she asks about another zombie, and it turns out to be a
trick by the people in the café *not the owners of the café* he/she then goes
home and starts to watch love movies by him/herself again while eating
his/her own arm. And this is the finish of the second ending
