The group proposes a 3-sentence opening title sequence for their zombie horror film "Outbreak". It will establish the two main characters as scientists in a lab. One scientist will be examining a presumed dead zombie specimen. When the scientist turns away, the zombie will suddenly awaken and attack, killing the other scientist. This will set up the film's zombie outbreak premise and horror genre in under a minute.

3. • “OUTBREAK’ is the name of our film.
• It relates well to the sub genre, zombie horror, it tells
the audience that there will be some kind of outbreak.
• Outbreaks are commonly associated with zombies as
there is usually a catastrophic epidemic that spreads
across a large area and is uncontrollable.

FILM SYNOPSIS

5. We will be establishing characters in our title sequence. Our scientists will be
established by their outfit, as one will be wearing a hazmat suit, along with rubber
gloves and safety goggles and the other will be wearing a lab coat. Another way to
establish this character will be how we see that they are in the lab with a zombie which
they presume to be dead. The protagonist is the female scientist and the victim is the
male scientist.

6. The genre and subgenre will also be established, from the start we
will be able to see that the film is a horror as we see the zombie
attack and also kill one of the scientists co-workers. The subgenre
of the film will also be known as the audience will be able to see
that the film is the beginning of a zombie horror.

Film opening ideas
360 degree angle- show that the scientist (Gabriella) is
alone in the room, but on the third 360 you will see her
co-worker walk past the window in the door.
The scientist will look at the door
and we will have a POV shot,
with the camera shaking slightly
so that the audience can
sympathise with the character as
they will see how scared she is.
During the chase scene we will use a
track so that we can steadily follow
the characters who are running.
When the scientist turns their back on the
zombie at the beginning of the scene, slowly
we will zoom into the zombies face. It will stop
at an extreme close up of the zombies eyes,
which is when they will open to display the
zombies frightening eyes as we will be using
coloured contacts.
In the scene we will see
different laboratory equipment
such as tools to experiment with
and chemicals that you would
expect to see in a lab.
The makeup that will be used in the
opening will be the zombie makeup,
this will include fake blood.

9. COLLEGE LAB SETTING

10. • We will be displaying our titles right at the beginning as
there will be a sequence where we film parts of the lab.
• E.g. rows of beakers containing different coloured
liquids which represent the chemicals in the laboratory,
and preservation containers, the contents of which may
be small parts or either human or animal body parts.
• The titles will consist of the cast, and anyone else who
has helped within the production.
USE OF TITLES

11. FONTS PART 2
The fonts that we will use will probably be quite grungy for
bits such as the title of the film, however for smaller texts
such as the cast we may use a simpler font such as Arial as
this text will be smaller, hence being harder to read.

12. We found out that horror movies which have been released recently like
‘Annabelle’ and ‘As above, So below’ have both had their target audience set as
15-24 males.
Our audience members who we have gotten primary feedback from are also
within this age bracket,.
TARGET AUDIENCE

13. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EZQIK7ar04
Watch from 1:00-1:25
MARKET FIT
This scene is similar to our idea in a way. Our plan is for the Zombie to suddenly
wake up, surprising the scientist and eventually killing him. However the
scientist in I am Legend does not underestimate the zombie, and therefore has
it restricted using a type of handcuff.

14. o Location: The scene will begin in a science lab (classroom) and then go out
into the corridor.
o Props: Costumes for scientist and zombie like human, beakers full of
coloured water, jars full of preserved bits and bobs, experimental
equipment/tools, coloured contacts for zombie and fake blood.
o Technical equipment: a camera, a tripod, lighting equipment.
RESOURCES

15. Gabriella – Scientist (Lead Protagonist)
We will require a hazmat suit, rubber gloves and safety goggles.
Primary Zombie
We will use make-up and other special effects to make the zombie look like a
cold body, which has been dead for a long period of time and other surgical
marks to show the experiments
Scientist’s Co-worker (Second Zombie)
This character will start as a regular scientist with a white coat, but will be
savagely attacked by the first zombie. Near the end of the scene we will
replicate the first zombies make-up but to a minor degree because the
character has been dead much longer. Also this character will exhibit bite
marks which we will make with special effect make-up
