Initial Ideas

Our proposed film idea takes inspiration from such films as 28 Days Later, Mad Max, I am Legend and other films of the sort, in which mankind has faced a Global Disaster and the survivor faces and overcomes many problems. Our initial idea was to shoot a Zombie Thriller/Horror style film but both Ben and I decided that make-up, props and location would be to time consuming to film, and therefore switched to a virus outbreak. This is obviously easier to film, and if made in the right way, could be a lot more effective. My idea for the main character is a man who returns home from work (not specified where yet) but has had no contact with the outside world for a few months, whilst the virus has spread, and finds everyone to have dissapeared or be dead.Our short film will focus on the scenes where he first returns, and is coming to terms with the loss of family and friends.
