Pitch for Idea

Teaser Trailer:

Begin with a news reporter saying "There has been a sudden rise of mysterious disappearances with up to 250 people gone missing within the last fortnight in just the area of suffolk." Then change scene to a man doing things like loading a gun, sheathing a knife and putting on boots but in short 1-2 second margins for effect. These two scenes keep cutting inbetween eachother. Feature tense music that builds up to the end and show tense scenes like a lightbulb smashing to darkness, then for the climax of the trailer have the character featured earlier walking along and show a hand smash from beneath the ground and grab his leg.

This Idea fits in well with the teaser trailer conventions, as the whole idea of zombies isn't even revealed and not much information is given away, but it would interest the audience as they would want to see the final film to see what it's about.

Story Outline

The film is based around the sudden outbreak of zombies; it had occured because of a fatal disease which had started to kill alot of humans. Bodies which hadn't been destroyed would come back as zombies, they could infect other humans by biting them and turning them into zombies within quite quick effect.

The story line revolves around the character Jack Duke, who in brief had lost his family a while ago and was still in grief and living in a bad way, and with the zombie outbreak jack started to hunt the zombies. The storyline will help the main character jack explore some of his emotions and help him finally get over the loss of his family and think about starting a new life and family.
