Moving image inspiration
Our inspiration for OTS is world war Z, Shaun of the dead and dead snow. These three zombie films have everything we wanted and it was very easy to get good ideas from these films as they have made headlines and they have got bigger then not just zombie films but they got in to the top 10 horror films of the year when they first came out.
The first thing we needed to get our instiration from was dead snow. This movie is the only zombie film that was set in the snow so this gave us a good idea to set out setting in an icey forest. By doing this we could attract our audience because they wont be expecting an icey forest to be in a zombie OTS
There was a scene in world war Z where the main character injects himself with a drug that will protect him from the zombies and they won't be able to see him. This scene is right at the end of the time because people can now save themselves.
This gave us great inspiration because we thought that the injection was a really good idea but we didn't want to just copy the idea of the injection saving people. we also couldn't use it because an OTS is at the start of a film so we thought it would be a good idea to make the injection start the zombie invasion.
