When a deadly disease called Eulogia spreads across Earth, all inhabitants are forced to evacuate the planet except for one man who is left behind. The opening sequence will show news reports describing the outbreak and mass evacuation as the disease spreads. It will then cut to the lone man waking up confused in his abandoned home, where he discovers through a letter that he is the last person on Earth and must investigate the origin and conspiracy behind Eulogia.

1. Main Task Pitch:
Desolation
By Rachel, Chloe and Dan

2. Logline
When an unknown deadly disease spreads across Earth, The inhabitants of the lone
planet are forced to reside on another planet. However, one man is remained on Earth
to discover the origin and conspiracy of the strange disease called Eulogia (you-low-jee-ah).

3. Context - What will happen?
● Sudden static screens into TV reports and narrations of the spreading of the disease. This will help to deliver the exposition to the
audience. End the reports with a testcard image with the high pitched beep
● (If the amount of filming each separate news report is too much to do within a certain time span, another similar idea is that the
opening will simulate a final EAS (Emergency Alert System) broadcast to everyone who is still using a television. The report will even
include the exposition of the outbreak of the disease and the report will stress the fact that everyone on earth should immediately
leave earth by visiting their nearest evacuation point.)
● An opening montage continues which contains clips of abandoned imagery combined with the opening titles/credits.
● The opening concludes with the man waking up in his bed, confused and in a daze. He gets up to investigate of his surroundings and
enter another room.
● The subject walks around the room until he finds a card with his name and identity. Also a letter is left behind from the government
and he discovers that he is the last person on earth left behind.
● The movie stops immediately on the look of shock on the man’s face.
● END

4. Setting
● We have chosen for the setting to show an abandoned earth with empty rooms
and deserted roads.
● Everything has been trashed and ruined with turned over tables and smashed
glass.
● We also have a news report setting reporting about the disease in a distressed
manner.

5. Location/s
● The scene where the scientist wakes in his demolished
bedroom will be located in a room in castlefield house. We
will use props to give the effect of his room being
destroyed. Using props again we can rearrange the room
and use it for the report scene with a desk and chairs and
maybe paper on the floor to suggest that the destruction
has already started.
● We will use still shots of empty streets local to reigate to
suggest that he is completely alone. This could be small
alley ways or parks which suggest that everybody is gone.

6. Character/s
● There will be one main character.
● The character is a male scientist.
● He is the only person left on earth.
● He is the only character in the opening sequence, however there will be a news
reporter on the tv in the beginning.

7. Cast
● Firstly, we will need actors for the news report to give the exposition at the start.
Probably 2 actors preferably.
● We also, of course, need the main role actor for the abandoned subject. If we can’t
find anyone else for this role then Dan will probably be the one who will play the
subject.

8. Props/Costumes/Make Up
Props
● Police tape
● Tables, Chairs (news report)
● Toxic/Danger sign
● Everyday items
● Fake blood
● Identity card
● Letter
Costumes
● Suit/Smart wear
● Hazard/Boiler suit
● Rubber Gloves
● Mask

9. Permission
The most basic permission we need for the entirety of this shoot will be the permission
to use the Castlefield house and its bedroom and office room. Any other permission
would mainly be if a store window etc was in the shot and they do not want it to be
there. However, we do not plan to use shop fronts or windows in our clips.

10. Health & Safety
During the making and filming of this opening sequence, there are not many Health &
Safety issues that can be brought up as we are not handling any dangerous equipment
that could be a hazard to any of the people involved in the production of this film.
However, common sense needs to be taken by the all the members of the filming team
and sensible behaviour needs to be committed at all times. All the members of the
filming should be patient, Co-operative and aware of their surroundings. Members
should be extremely careful around the filming equipment as they can be easily broken
without precaution.
