Short Film-Filming Plan


Fragments-Filming Plan


  • Opening-00:20 (1)
  • Infected Scene (Quiet)-000:55 (2)
  • Driving Away-1:45 (3)
  • Scavenging-2:20 (4)
  • Arrives 'home'-2:55 (5)
  • Dream Sequence-03:30 (6)
  • Fight Scene-4:30 (7)
  • Ending-05:00 (8)
1. A slow, steady zoom into either a radio or a TV screen, speaking of/showing an 'event' that brought the world to destruction. This is shown in a pitch black room with either a single spotlight lighting the area, or simply the TV screen switching on allowing for light.

2. Environmental shots followed by the protagonist searching the environment with screams in the distance. This is followed by Ryan finding a zombie that he once knew before the virus spread.

3. After the character jumps in his car, we see quick close ups of him starting it up and driving away from the location. We see him holding an area of his body that is bleeding, showing how he is in need of bandages/aid.

4. This short sequence slows down the film slightly before speeding it up again for the fight scene. We see the protagonist scavenging and roaming through different environments for resources, displaying what remains of the world. 

5. Once the character arrives home to a safe location, we see remnants of the world before as well as the struggle this character is going to for survival.

6. Throughout this dream sequence, we see strange visuals combined with relevant shots showing foreshadowing for the character as well as hints about what happened to the world. I will attempt to use imagery that evokes fear and anxiety to represent what will eventually happen to this character.

7. During this lengthy fight scene, we see several hallucinations from the side character who distracts the main character from the threat. I will include quick takes here as well as shaky, handheld camera. 

8. The ending will show a long, continuous shot of the character driving off, after realising what will eventually happen to him.
