2. The movie is about…
• My movie is World War Z its about a Zombie Apocalypse directed
by Marc Foster
• World War Z premiered in London on June 3, 2013, and was
chosen to open the 35th International Moscow Film Festival
• The film premiered in New York, and Los Angeles on June 14,
2013, and released everywhere on June 21, 2013, in the United
States, in 2D.

3. The Plot and Character Breakdown• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_Z_(film)
• Former UN employee Gerry Lane, his wife Karin and their two daughters are in heavy Philadelphia traffic when the city is overrun by zombies that
are attracted to sound. As chaos spreads, the Lanes escape to Newark, New Jerseyand take refuge in an apartment, home to a couple with a young
son, Tommy. UN Deputy Secretary-General Thierry Umutoni, an old friend of Gerry, sends a helicopter that extracts the Lanes and Tommy to a U.S.
Navy vessel in the Atlantic where scientists and military personnel are analyzing the worldwide outbreaks. Andrew Fassbach posits that the plague
is a virus and that development of a vaccine depends on finding the origin. Gerry agrees to help Fassbach find the outbreak's source after it is
made clear that the Lanes will be removed from the cramped ship if he is not of use.
• Gerry and Fassbach fly to Camp Humphreys, a military base in South Korea, where they are attacked on arrival by zombies. Turning to re-enter the
aircraft, Fassbach slips, falls and accidentally shoots himself dead. After being rescued by the base's surviving personnel, led by Captain Speke,
Gerry learns that the infection was introduced to the base by its doctor, who was ultimately incinerated by a soldier with a lame leg whom the
infected ignored. A former CIA operative imprisoned at the base for selling weapons to North Korea (to help them fight the infection) tells Gerry to
go to Jerusalem, where he says a safe zone has been maintained by the Israeli Mossad since before the outbreak's official acknowledgement. As
Gerry and his team return to their aircraft, Karin—worried about her husband after he misses their pre-arranged call time—rings his satellite phone,
attracting zombies who kill several soldiers, with only Gerry and his pilot escaping.
• In Jerusalem, Gerry meets Mossad chief Jurgen Warmbrunn, who explains that months earlier, the Mossad had intercepted an Indian military
message claiming that Indian troops were fighting the rakshasa, or "dead spirits". Israel had thereupon quarantined Jerusalem, erecting huge walls
around it. Just as Jurgen shows Gerry that Israel is allowing survivors to take refuge in the city, loud celebratory singing from refugees prompts
zombies to scale the walls and attack. Jurgen orders some Israeli soldiers to escort Gerry back to his plane. On the way, Gerry notices zombies
ignoring an old man and an emaciated boy. Soon after, one of Gerry's escorts, a soldier who identifies herself only as "Segen" (lieutenant), is bitten
in the hand, which Gerry quickly amputates to stop her turning. Gerry and Segen escape on a commercial airliner as Jerusalem is overrun.
• Gerry contacts Thierry, and the airliner is diverted to a World Health Organization (WHO) facility outside Cardiff, Wales. When a stowaway zombie
attacks on approach to Cardiff airport, Gerry uses a grenade to blow the infected out of the aircraft, which also causes the plane to crash. Gerry is
injured, but both he and Segen survive. They proceed to the WHO facility, where Gerry loses consciousness. He awakens three days later and
explains to the remaining WHO staff his theory, based on the people he has seen the zombies ignore: the infected do not bite the seriously injured
or terminally ill since they would be unsuitable hosts for viral reproduction. He suggests that they test this by deliberately infecting somebody with
a pathogen from the facility, but the pathogens are stored in a wing already overrun by zombies. Gerry, Segen and the lead WHO doctor go to get a
pathogen. As they fight their way through, they are separated; Gerry continues to the pathogen vault while Segen and the doctor return to the
main building. A zombie blocks the door to the vault, prompting Gerry to inject himself with an unknown pathogen and open the vault, thereby
testing his theory. The zombie ignores him, as do those he encounters while returning to the main building. Everybody rejoices at Gerry's success.
• This is what the plot will be based around but can adjusted with peoples ideas*

4. My Story
• Its very similar to World War Z but more of a teenage set location
and cast, one student becomes infected and and tries to infect
other students and the students to escape. Its set in college and
around the campus and involves all students, it’s will take around
a week to film and wont cost much (prop wise).
• There will be unanswered questions and and leave the view
questioning what will happen next, we can work together to plan
on what will be the unanswered question.
• Potential names could be World War Sunderland or World War S3

5. AUDIENCE PROFILING.
• Our audience will be mostly 12+, it wont have any graphic images
or language but will take an older person to understand it.
• We are making our film for people our ages and maybe some
adults.

6. THE REST OF THE MARKET
• The market leaders within the genre we are doing are Mexico, more
zombie film
• Horror is a genre of speculative fiction which is intended to frighten,
scare, disgust, or startle its readers by inducing feelings of horror and
terror. ... Often the central menace of a work of horror fiction can be
interpreted as a metaphor for the larger fears of a society.
• Box office stat-
