Creative Techniques
We will use a variation of music and camera shots to create our short introduction scene. For the music we will use deep bass sounds and some fast music to get create the tension in the scene. We will use different types of camera shots to show the scene at its full potential. We will use such shots as high angles, deep focus, point of view shots. We will use the high angle to show the dominance of the world against our main character. Deep focus will be used because the main character as disorientated because of the virus. Point of view shots will be used to show the main characters vision of the world with the virus. This also has the personal effect so the audience know what its like to be the main character.
We will use certain sound techniques to create sequences that allow the audience to pick up the mood from the film.
Plot Synopsis
In our sequence there is a mass outbreak in a virus causing typical human beings to turn into what we know as the living dead. There is many symptoms’ of the disease shown in our sequence, such as coughing up blood etc. the transformation causes a change to the human body, and builds up a lust and craving for human blood. A loner who’s body is immune to full transformation is searching for a professor at the nearby scientific laboratory for further testing at the beginning of the outbreak to help find a cure to reverse the effects. Tests appear to fail as the quantity of cases is rapidly growing. The chance of survival is minimal.
Opening Sequence
Our Opening sequence will start with a video from a new broadcast with muffled sound and video adding mystery to what is happening. During this part banging will occur on the door and as the camera is knocked over all we see is feet running and leaping upon the news broadcaster who starts screaming as he is eaten alive. The screen will then fade to black and then revealing our character in the isolated forest hence giving an introduction to our character. This will be a good opening to a horror movie as we instantly start with some mystery and an action scene allowing the audience to immerse into the plot instantly.
Audience
My group would like to aim our short sequence at a young teen audience , possibly 13 to 16, however due to BBFC laws and the violent nature of our sequence , this is simply not possible , instead we have to aim at 15 plus , this is a big disapointment to us , however it does give us a chance to add more blood and gore to our short sequence . We will try to appeal to audiences 15 to 24 years old as recent studies have shown that our type of sequence will appeal most to this age group , as a pose to a much older or younger audience who do not have much interest in our chosen subject(zombies)
