Other people's footage

For the news reports and other short clips at the beginning of my film I will use footage of real news reports of featuring civil unrest, war, terrorist disasters and other chaos, although I will only use around a second of each clip in my film. I am resorting to this as I soon realised the logistics involved in creating realistic reports was currently beyond my ability. I instead, used the camera to record a few seconds of news reports being played on my computer.

Not only am I resorting to using a real television report for a split second scene, but I soon realised that if I record a channel four news report of John Snow, viewers will recognise readily the reporter and therefore find the scene even more realistic and believable. The Youtube video I will be using will be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDX2nvwn-Rw which I have a screenshot of to the right. When I use this footage at the beginning I will edit the clip to where Snow is explaining about a mass evacuation, to give the viewers the impression that the report is about people escaping zombies when actually it is about an earthquake.
I will also use another channel 4 news report I found on Youtube of civil unrest in Africa, and edit it to where the reporter informs about the police shooting at people, to give the impression that he is refering to police shooting zombies instead. The url for this video is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfG0vXO3qvc.

I will not only use other people's footage of news reports but also footage of real riots, the main one I will use will be a Youtube video of riot police attacking protesters at the G20 Climate summit pictured right. I have chosen this as it appears the police are trying to contain a mob of infected people.

Storyline/ Storyboard part 3

Then in a close up shot of the figure, it turns around to face the camera to reveal that it is actually a female zombie. At this point the main male character is in a prone stance over a pile of rubble aiming his gun at the hostile zombie, which is now emitting a horrific scream. However just before my character fires I will then use a low angle shot to show another zombie lunching over the main character, like some horrific silhouette against the sky. It will look similar to this image to the right here except with the protagonist character in the bottom of the shot. This will build up extra fear and tension for the main character as he is unaware of this new threat and is vulnerable to surprise attack.

Still oblivious to the zombie behind him and continuous to shoot at the female zombie in the distance. After the sound of the gunshot I will continue this now more exciting audio with some fast tempo music to back up the now engrossing events which are unfolding as the new zombie from behind lunches for the main character. Realise the zombies presence, my character drops his weapon and roles over to defend himself as the zombie grabs him. Whilst this is happening I will continuously switch between close up shots of the brawl, also using a range of high and low angle shots, again resembling this screenshot from a video game I have pictured to the right here.

However my main character manages to break away from his attacker unharmed, and draws out a crowbar and uses to strike the zombie in the head. As the zombie falls back defeated I will use a slow motion shot to show the gushes of blood flying through the air from its head. It will bear a resemblance from this screenshot from another zombie game here to the right again, although of coarse, my character will not be using cricket bat.

As the zombie crashes to the ground I fill fade out to black, then role on the credits, ending my short film.
