Initial Ideas

Some of our initial ideas for our film were:
Action Film (The bourne supremacy, James Bond, XXX etc)
Zombie film (28 Days and Weeks later, Dawn of the dead, shawn of the dead)
English Indie (this is england, trainspotting)
stoner film (harold and kumar, friday)

We narrowed the choices down after watching the examples mentioned and decided which would be the most suitable and achievable. We decided against doing:

Action Film- explosions and gunshots etc are hard to replicate and the costume would be difficult to make look realistic on no budget.

Stoner film- may have "bad" connotations or may be unsuitable for an AS film. Limited acting resources to find people that can act like they are "stoned".

Therefore, we settled on an English Indie Zombie film as our concept; the costume will be difficult to replicate, but easily affordable to get the equipment together. We also live an area suitable to film in. Another reason is due to a genuine interest in Zombie films, and we feel our experience from watching other films will help us succeed in producing a good final product.
