OUR FIRST IDEAS
Pitch 1:
Four boys are soon found abandoned in a city due to an outbreak of a new infectious disease. However, they soon find out they are not on their own and their lives becomes a game of survival. They will embark on an epic quest of intense chases, leadership, emotional sacrifice and life or death choices.
We will aim to make our trailer a very scary/thriller theme with some jumps and frights, but will also aim to get themes such as action or adventure into the trailer.
Location:
We will find many location around the area of Gloucestershire which are abandoned or old and try and make it look like a real deserted city. S.T
Pitch 2:
A new craze amongst teenagers of taking a certain drug has become very popular and caught the media's attention, it began as just a few kids doing it for fun but now has spread nationally. The drug starts with good effects but after a period of time it starts to have drastic effects on the mental mind of people taking it. People begin to get possessed and their physical body is taken over, they have no way back to normality. Survivors fight to get away from the infected in a matter of life or death as all media coverage is off air and its every man for himself.
It will be located at various destinations including a school, a house, quiet town and forest. J.B

OUR PITCH
Our story consists of our character, Jamal Saint, under his own survival in an evacuated city due to a chemical release. However he is not alone in the city, as he is being hunted by the contaminated creatures still left in the city. Throughout the creatures will be shown in silhouettes and quick flashes to create a sense of mystery in the trailer. Our character's aim is to find help and a safe way out of the city. As the story unfolds you start to build a strong relationship with Jamal as you travel through a story of adventure, horror, sadness and revolution as the horror comes to life on a constant build of excitement and action.
We think this horror will sell because horror and action-type genres work really well together. When focusing on both action and the horror a great film can be created. Films such as 'I am Legend', '28 weeks later' and 'Resident Evil' have all been very successful when combining the two together and we think with our idea we can bring the idea of isolation.
We will aim to have several locations, consisting of:
The old prison cells next to Gloucester docks,
-The local graveyard in Chosen Hill
-The old buildings next to the Quays,
-Rooftops in Cheltenham
-The car park and roof tops on the Guild hall
We think these will be effective as it will show that we are in a big city and having no one else in the shots will create the illusion of isolation.
Our main character in the trailer will be Sam, a member of our group. We will also use others to help us with the un-faced characters and any other extras.
Our trailer will be targeted at people above the age of 15 by using action as well as horror we appeal to a male audience, by making our film a 15 it will allow us to use some gore and can still maximise the amount of people who come to watch our film. Due to zombie being a popular sub genre we believe we can achieve a large audience.
