Winning... hmm... so having looked at winning in games. What I'm planning is something a whole lot simpler. What I'm planning is essentially a first person POV of someone taking on an army of opponents and winning. This "hero" will of course have back up and teammates cowering in cover, who will join the charge for the win. You could consider this a blend between the famous first person POV sequence from the movie Doom that will let me showcase a win - of a sort.
The problem is I don't have the same amount of time for this project, as I did the other project (Power) so with about two, maybe three weeks to get this one done, I'm looking at some SERIOUS time pressure - hence two posts on this project in one day - So I'm thinking of going seriously low tech to speed things up here.
At this point, I don't even have access to a proper video camera, so going "low tech" and quick-and-dirty: Cellphone footage is going to have to be about it for the filming part of things. So with such small cameras, I figure what I'm going to do is tape a cellphone or two to a couple of NERF blaster to capture the gun camera angle footage I want.
Now that I know what the camera angles are going to be, I need to figure out what exactly they will be filming, to get that victory element. Since its gun cameras, I figure the EASIEST thing would be the slaughter of a horde of zombies that stand between the survivors and escape/freedom.
Venue wise, I figure I'm going to need some place fairly narrow and confined - a corridor would be ideal or some kind of large room/open space.
literally, the plot doesn't get any simpler than this: the survivors stumble in to said room... yeah I'm thinking two or three survivors at this point. and then they jam the door shut, and then hear the growling/groan of a zombie... and have the classic oh shit moment: Blocked door at your back, horde of undead at your front. Survivors by your side.
The zombies charge as a horde, the survivors basically gun and run their way through the horde, maybe not all the survivors make it through the horde alive - depending on how many "survivors" initially, depends how many will survive. I am considering having different camera angles at the beginning and end just to capture the moment better. But to go in close on the gun cam, I'm thinking just one or two survivor gun cameras otherwise its going to get confusing. Full script to follow in a couple of hours probably....
