Selection-Rejection Idea B

Idea B follows the same basic storyline; however it also has a few changes, especially in the end. For this idea I did not use the same technique for beginning the movie. It opens up with scientists working on an unknown substance, which the audience later can easily infer it is the substance that caused the outbreak. After that scene is the business meeting scene. The conversation they have is exactly the same as with the previous idea. After that scene, I chose to use something else other than the grocery store outbreak. It involves a car in the road, not moving. Someone pulls onto the street and begins to beep at them. The man in the second car gets out of his car to talk to the first car. As that happens the man in the first car gets out, and we see he is infected. He attacks the man, and then it shows a few other scenes similar to this as with the first idea. A group of friends find a house, go inside, and board it up. This is the idea which I had thoughts about using the haunted house in Port Monmouth because I think it will create the perfect atmosphere. Another plot difference in this idea is that the next scene shows the military getting involved in trying to contain the outbreak. It shows officers discussing possible solutions to the problem. The solution they choose is to send in a small team to find out what exactly is going on inside the quarantine area. I have created two different endings for this idea. One is that the soldiers go against orders to rescue survivors, and the other is that the soldiers find the survivors, but at that moment the infected attack and no one survives. I think that idea B will be an interesting movie as well. I like the fact that I left a good portion of it open ended because it will give me a good amount of freedom if this is the one I choose. Another thing I like is that haunted house. I thing it would create a very gloomy, mysterious, and perhaps even creepy atmosphere that would be a perfect addition to the movie. Even better about this is that if it turns out that this specific location won’t work out, I can use my house like in the other two ideas. A possible problem with using the haunted house would be that I would definitely have to get a permit to shoot there. I have it as an option, but I have a fallback if it does not work out.

Pros
- Interesting location
- Easy to follow

Cons
- Would need permits to do most of the movie.
- Storyline isn't very original
