Selection-Rejection Idea A

Next I will discuss idea A. This idea starts off in the middle of the conclusion. It continues up to but not including the finale. Right after a cliffhanger scene ending it fades out. It fades in with the business meeting scene, which I have already discussed. After that it goes into a grocery store scene and shows the start of the “infection.” This scene would probably be the most chaotic, showing multiple scenes of people changing and attacking other people. At the end of that it would show people getting into a car and driving away. They would be driving for about two minutes, where they would see a house that wasn’t boarded up and run for the door. After a brief tussle they get inside and are greeted by the other survivors in there. The next scene briefly shows text in the beginning that says two weeks have passed. It still takes place in the house at first. Then circumstances force some of the survivors out. The ones forced out get into a car and drive away. This will lead up to the introduction of the movie. The introduction will play again, only this time the end of the movie will be revealed. I think that idea A will be a good movie to create. It flows nicely on paper, and I believe I will be able to transfer that into the movie well. I really like the idea of starting at the end and working back up to it. I think doing it in this way will create a cliffhanger that will entice audiences and get them more interested. Also the house I plan to use is my house, which would bypass any need for permits or anything like that. Getting locations for the other scenes should not be difficult either. One problem I could have with this idea is confusion. Sometimes, when movies start at the end and jump around the timeline a bit, the movie can become confusing. If I was to do this idea I would want to avoid this.

Pros
- a more suspenseful and interesting storyline
- fewer actors needed

Cons
- could be confusing to the audience
