This a post which we used in our proposal of our idea. This particular post focuses on:

Style of our opening scene

The grading of our sequence will be slightly dim, this will reflect the dystopian future and this atmosphere we intend to create, as we believe this will best suit our genre- Zombie/Action. 

The sequence will alternate between titles and action, this will keep continuity and create ellipses which means the audience can fill in the gaps themselves and the sequence isn't dragged out. 

As the sequence progresses the pace of the of the action also increases. As a result tension increases and when it ends with a 'bang' and a cliff hanger, it keeps the audience gripped and excited. It will also have dramatic music which will work in synergy to add to the tension and drama in the sequence. 

We are following many of the conventions of Zombie/Action films. These include: an apocalyptic world, an isolated/abandoned setting, zombies shot in the head to be killed, the zombie virus is transmitted through a bite and people are willing to die rather than living as a zombie.
