Treatment for the first 2 minutes


Our film is currently under the working title "The Zombie Project" we are not yet sure whether this is final yet but we have the graphics for the title and production name

It follows a character called Vince Noir who is a small time director making horror movies. However, the stress caused by his newest film causes him to go over the edge and take things literally. Beth and the "Zombie" both notice this change in Vince and become suspicious of the way he that he becomes very serious about the film and how he does not look healthy.

Beth and the "Zombie" believe it to be stress that is causing this, however it is revealed that, due to a constant exposure to horror films, his mind has become tainted and ends up becoming the very thing thing that he makes films of.

He is unimpressed with the performance that is given by Beth and the "Zombie" and this tips him over the edge. This sudden change of character ironically causes Beth and the "Zombie" to run for their lives in reality.

We see numerous changes in setting to show this sudden plot twist, such as a change in lighting and location. This leads Vince eventually managing to chase down Beth and and in which, Beth now becomes the victim of cannibalism, after this, Vince disappears into the darkness, which ends the 2 minutes at a point , but also leaves room for a full film to develop.

All this makes up the first part of Act 1, and introduces the themes, plot and characters for the rest of the film.
