Task II: Story Synopsis

We had to come up with a story that would fit well with the genre had had choosen to do. In the end we came up with a story like this:

Production Credits will role. As the final few are rolling, We cut to an establishing shot of the moors on an eerie evening. We hear a wolf howl and then we cut to a runner going along a path. They are whistling as we cut to inside the bushes nearby as a “Creature” is watching this runner. We hear grunting noises and use parallel editing going back and forth until the “creature” attacks. We then cut to Will, the main character practicing at home the next day. Someone shouts to him its time to get ready. Music begins to role (song “Evil Walks” - ACDC) as He is seen getting ready putting on jacket, glasses etc. Throws a dart at the bulls eye on a dartboard and the titles appear.

Heading into town, he is whistling a tune as he walks down the street. We use parallel editing to go between what is thought to be a zombie and Will but when it jumps out turn out to be his best friend. Will and friend go to his friends house and turns the TV on to see on every channel that it’s the news. Will and his mate mock play they are zombies before hearing

A knock on the door. His friend goes to open it and sees it’s a zombie. Jokingly thinking it’s another friend playing the same game he invites him in. While in the lounge, the zombie tries to bite his friend. He gets pushed away, while hearing on the radio how to notice a zombie. Quick shots/ cuts on the parts as they are said they scream and leg it out the house down to the park.

When the two guys walk into the park they already notice police everywhere and people eating people or attacking the police.

     As wills friend think it will be funny to get closer to a zombie to get on all the action, he is almost killed but a police officer saves him right before he is attacked. The police tell them to leave the area but they must leave now before the town goes into lock down and the military arrive.

     Will receives a phone call from one of his other friends saying his girlfriend turned on him and bit him. Will insists that they must go to his friend and help him. The two boys fight before will ends up on his own heading into the town to save his friend. When will looks around it seem as if he has entered another town or city, it was not the same one he grew up in. he located his friends home and goes inside. No one is there, its silent dark and eerie.

What i've lernt from making the synopsis is that the two genre's blend really well. And you can have an equal amount from both or more genre's to make a good plot from the film.
