Initial group planning

Katherine: Meretta comes out of an asylum, having flashbacks and seeing things. Slips into a coma, gets dragged into hell. Sam tries to rescue her, but she gets dragged off into an eviler place. She dies.

Jason: Apocalyptic world, destroyed by a virus, very few humans remain. Robin hears a radio signal about a safe haven, goes on a journey to find the safe haven, along the way he finds many people but not all of these can be trusted.

Tyler: A secret pact between Dante, a vampire and the village he has a grasp on. A child and son move to the village after the death of the child’s mother, to start a new life. The villagers capture the son as an offering for the vampire, a tradition held over a number of years. The father’s journey begins in order to rescue him.

Jacob: Katherine is a goth who collects Victorian items with her and best friends Tyler, Jason and Jacob. Being adventurous, they go and look around the abandoned hospital outside of town. Katherine discovers a lovecraftian pendant within the rubble and adds it to her collection of gothic and Victorian items. She then realises she’s being stalked and as her friends are murdered, dissected and turned into Frankenstein-like mounds of flesh, she realises that the pendant is related to an ancient curse of a plague doctor.

Conclusion and selection: After discussion, the group decided to use Jacob’s idea, it already had fitting parts for the people available and suitable local locations which we could alter to our needs. Props and other required things were already in possession by various members of the group, to make the end task of creating the trailer much easier.

Original Film Idea - Individual

The government have developed a virus that has the potential to wipe out all mankind, a chemical weapon that was meant for defensive purposes.  However this information was leaked and countries all over the world have begun developing this deadly virus that is invisible to the immune system, causes their skin to turn white and takes control of the brain causing them to kill anybody without the infection.  Luckily it also causes mild brain damage and in result the contaminated humans are only smart enough to use melee weapons.

As an act of terrorism, these chemical weapons were launched to a number of countries all over the world.  Countries returned fire and most of the world became contaminated with this virus.  Now humanity is on the brink of extinction.  However we find out that there are some people who are immune to the virus that have o- blood.

For the story we follow the struggles of Robin Hotz as he hears a radio transition saying about a survivor’s safe haven at a military nuclear bunker with enough supplies to last until the contaminated humans are wiped out and it is safe.  Robin gathers up supplies and leaves his house to get to the safe haven and rebuild humanity. It is a long journey to reach the safe haven and Robin will meet a number of other survivors along the way.  However who can be trusted when it’s the end of the world and anything goes?
