Storyline Idea

beginning 

The beginning is of our main character, Rudy, waking up from a coma, as he was stabbed in the arm and lost a lot of blood. The first shot of our film starts with a point of view shot where the characters eyes are closed. He opens his eyes slowly and all his vision is blurry. He hears sounds of screaming and groaning, shot fires and things smashing. However, when his vision becomes clear the sound disappears and he realises there is no sound at all and he is in a derelict hospital which is completely empty. He sees a note on the table beside him with some dead rotten flowers, symbolising that he has been in a coma a while. Also accompanied with the note is a loaded gun. The more reads 'The dead have taken over, by the time you awake from

this all humanity will have been lost. Here's a gun to protect you, you'll

need to get them in the head. Don't worry, I'm with a group of survivors and we have a safe place for now. I also got the scumbag who stabbed you. Seth' . Seth is Rudy's younger brother. When we see Rudy reading the note, we hear a voice over of Seth reading the note. When Rudy reads the part of the note about him being stabbed, he looks at his left shoulder to see him in bandages. He then has a flashback to the moment when he got stabbed. When it goes back to the present time he picks picks up the fun and the note and heads out for an exit. The lights in the hospital are sensored so he walks into a dark corridor  and the lights come on. As he continues to slowly stumble down the corridor the lights continue to turn on however, he sees one corridor with the lights already on and realises there must be some sort of movement on that corridor. He believes it will be a zombie so he avoids using the corridor andhappens to find a  way out. Outside the hospital is a huge scattered pile of dead bodies, both human and zombies. He carries on stumbling through the streets until he stumbles over due to his lack of energy and due to him becoming fatigued. The camera is a very low birds eye view shot of Rudy laid on the floor and it rises up. As the camera rises it's fades out to white which could symbolise heaven, and that Rudy has died. He gets rescued by an army crew in a helicopter who takes him to safety on a big ship in the middle of the sea.

Middle

The middle of my film will Rudy has joined a group of army soldiers who are going back to land to look for a cure. Rudy offers to take part as he is a brave. character, and also as he made a deal that if he goes then they will help him search for his brother. Along the way in the journey the group comes across a lot of problem including zombies and humans. One incident caused the death of the group leader, meaning Rudy takes charge. Also, another incident included a group of survivors who have taken hostages to be bate for the zombies, one of them being a one armed Seth. This causes Rudy to lash out and kill all the enemy group. Seth goes back to the boat for treatment as the group continues to search for a cure.

Ending 

In the ending, the group go to a lab to find the items they need to find a cure. Whilst in the lab the group is contamintaed with some sort of other virus as they are testing things on a zombie they have chained up, almost like a dog on a lead. Unfortunately the crew  become weak and the zombie breaks out and get them however, Rudy is able to escape with all the gear they have taken but grows weak and stumbles over. As you think the film is over and Rudy is hopeless, a certain face walks over and helps Rudy up, it's Seth. He comes in a helicopter with another group of soldiers who carry him to safety into a chopper. The film ends with the helicopter taking off and Rudy saying 'I'm sorry, I couldn't do it, i wa...' however Seth interrupts and says 'We found a scientist, he knows exactly what he's doing and you have everything we need' There is then a little grin from Rudy with grows to laughter from them both and the final shot is an  establishing shot of the destroyed city and the helicopter flying high above back to saftey, symbolising they are 'on top of the world'.
