The first thing me and my group did was look at the codes and conventions of post apocalyptic movies and what makes them so successful. We all agreed that an ominous character and a dystopian world that promises salvation was a common theme within all post apocalyptic films. An example of this would be The Book of Eli as there is a safe haven rumoured about which Eli has made it his mission to go to as he needs to protect the Book.
At the start of this project my group and I had two main ideas, the first was based off of the beginning of I Am Legend, where a virus had broke out and caused a deadly disease to infect the planet.
Our Idea was to have the main characters father working on a cure, but be killed by one of his test subjects, his son would carry on the research and go out looking for the final ingredient to the cure.
The second idea was to have the main character looking for a new society as he had heard about a new utopia over in the east, he would travel there only based on hope, however avoiding the gangs of people that have banded together in the hope of ruling this new world.
Chosen idea
My group and I decided to choose the first idea as it seemed much more original and had the potential to have a SiFi sub-genre opening up more shots to film. It also allowed us to show off more skills which would be effective within the post apocalyptic genre.
