Pitch

Potential Title for my short film - Alone

Genre - post nuclear war/ post apocalypse

Setting/Props- Nuclear Bunker, clothes, debris

Description of one key scene - main character wakes up in a nuclear war bunker in the year 2020 to find his town devastated by a mass terrorist gas attack following an invasion by air. The main scene is Joe Fetts emerging  from the bunker and seeing the devastation first hand. he wanders through his town looking for survivors, a task proven much difficult as Joe had ever imagined. I will use series of extreme long shots/ establishing shots to show the opening scene, as well as many medium/close up shots to show the emotion of the main character. i will also be using props to create mise en scene, such as the dead people and the damage

Relationship to previous films- my short film has a very similar opening scene to Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later, when the main character Jim wakes up from a coma in a London Hospital. He wakes up to find he has been abandoned in a seemingly empty London. As he wanders through the empty streets of central london we see that he is infact alone.

Target audience- 15- 40 year olds.
