Research into Genre - Story line

Story line

Conventional story lines within the post apocalyptic genre tend to have similarities. Story lines tend to consist of a main focus on either a survival group or individual who are searching for lost family/friends and trying their best to survive. The main similarity is that the conventional story line of a zombie-horror is one of two plots; 

1. The film will start pre-apocalyptic where everything is normal. The story line will then lead up to how the apocalypse will begin, normally focusing on one particular family or individual and following their route to survival and all the obstacles they may try to overcome on their way. 
2. The film starts already during the apocalypse with the world overrun with zombies. The overall plot focus is usually on an individual who has so far managed to survive the apocalypse. This individual may then find a survival group and join them to hopefully find safety.
