owners | Lots of natural light and no other lights because no power | There are a few broken
panes of glass and sharp pieces of metal but nothing too dangerous.


Swimming Pool:

There is no power | very little road but a bit of airplane noise | There is no fence or sign to
stop us from entering | Lots of natural light as it is in the middle of some woods | A few
splinters from the wood on the ladder, but it is sturdy and wont fall.

Agreed content / amended brief (please insert a copy)
Lone
Circle of Confusion has been commissioned to create a television pilot for a Point Of View zombie
series to be aired on Channel 4, FOX and AMC for the production company Circle of Confusion .A
very brief summary of the story is:
A character is alone walking around talking to themselves in an abandoned place talking about what
they were doing before the apocalypse started. They will then move onto an abandoned building
where they carry on talking about their past they will then go to sleep have a nightmare of previous
zombie experiences as they hear a zombie groaning close by so they have to run away quietly. They
find some woods and walk into them and find an abandoned garden centre surrounded by fencing
and protected from the zombies he sets up camp and then goes hunting, while hunting he finds a
dear grazing as he is just about to shoot it an arrow comes from behind him and hits the dear in the
head killing it instantly. He turns and runs but before he can go anywhere he is surrounded and then
knocked out. He then wakes up tied to a tree in the middle of a field with nothing left he goes in and
out of consciousness a few times and every time a zombie groan is getting louder till he wakes one
more time and has a zombie 2 meters away he tries to set himself free but cannot move he starts
kicking out at the zombie but it keeps on getting closer as it is right next to his face about to maul
him he spots a person in the field and as he shouts a shot rings out and he passes out.

Detail outlines
The series needs to be aimed at previous watchers of zombie series or films which is why circle
of confusion was chosen as they produce The Walking Dead.
The pilot needs to draw people into the show with a cliff hanger at the end of the episode to keep
people watching.
We dont want to go overboard with zombie scenes we only want a few seconds
of film of zombies. The show is about life being alone in the world and not coming in contact with
humans for a long time and the way he reacts to everything and people he comes across.
The show will be mostly point of view shots and very few other shots.
There will be very little dialogue with other people more the character talking to himself or in his
head so sound effects will be heavily relied on and will be provided by you.
We are aiming at the zombie fans and males aged 15-25.
Length of 25 minutes.
Daily meetings to update us on the progression of the production.
No jolty movement, smooth movement so a glide cam would be ideal for filming the P.O.V shots.
We need everything to seem abandoned and deserted so no background noises of cars or planes,
sounds to be added in when editing but they have to fit and sound correct and is key to making it
look and sound right.
Music will not play a huge part in the production but there will be subtle parts during tension
scenes and will be supplied by you or another company.
A title sequence and theme music to accompany to be provided by you.
Pre-production to be done by 4pm on the 2nd April.
I want filming and viewing of raw footage by the 15th May.
I want the final edit to be done by the 20th May.

Contingency / back up plans
My locations are unlikely to be unusable as they are already abandoned and unused places but
in the case of them being unavailable I know of several other locations similar which would
be just as easy to film in.

My crew consists of me and an actor for the most part of the production so i can easily find
out if they cant film and as you would only see the actors hands a few times i think i would be
able to film with different actors but only if i had to. I will also have a few extras that will be
needed for filming for one hour and they can be anyone as I wont be too fussy on the acting
skills because they will be in it for maybe 2 minutes.

I am only doing a single camera production and having a camera break or a memory card
corrupt is the worst that could happen so i will carry a spare camera and memory card with me
during filming in case but we would have to re-shoot due to the difference in camera quality
and lenses.



Detail how you solved problems
Problem Solved
Shortage of film I adjusted the script by removing parts and
changed the time that I was aiming for from
25 to 10 minutes.




Modifications (Why did you modify your work and what was changed during post-
production)
Modified How Why
Reduce script size Deleting parts and scenes
from the script.
So it is reduced from 9
minutes of walking around to
just 4.
Reduce time of production Deleting parts and scenes
from the script.
To make it smaller and
shorter from 25 to 10
Modified How Why
minutes.

EXT. WALKING THROUGH WOODS
fades black.
He is walking around the woods and in the middle of the woods
there is an old swimming pool emptied and overgrown he climbs
down and sleeps for a while. he is then awoken by the sound of
wood cracking and someone walking around but no zombie groans.
Jeremy: (thoughts) i thought everyone else was either dead or a
zombie? (he shouts out) Hello is someone there!?
there is no answer. he packs up and then gets out of the swimming
pool and keeps walking. he passes a house and is about to walk in
but before he opens the door he hears zombie groans coming from
inside.
Jeremy: (thoughts) Come on, is there nowhere safe anymore? Is
there anyone alive? Is there anyone at all? (shouts out load to
the sky) Come on i need answers!
He continues walking through the woods
Jeremy: (thoughts) Oh damn its going to get dark soon i need to
find some form of shelter anything will do.
He carries on walking for 30 seconds and then sees an opening in
the woods and a fence he starts running towards it and as he gets
closer he slows and treads lightly making sure he is silent and
looking around for anyone. he finds a hole in the fence and peeps
his head through looking for anything.
Jeremy: It's empty. (He murmurs to himself)
(thoughts) This is perfect fenced all round, shelter and it's
empty. Empty!
He climbs through the hole in the fence into the compound he
walks around and sees a sign on the front of the building.
Jeremy: (murmurs to himself) Wyevale Garden Centre.
(thoughts) Wait i know this place i drove past here everyday to
get to work that means i am close to home! Maybe i could find
Stacey. No. Later i need food, rest and shelter now.
EXT. IN WOODS - INT. INSIDE GARDEN CENTRE
He goes out into the woods with his rifle and walks around look
for any animal. he scans the woods a few times down the scope.

twig behind him he quickly turns around and is hit over the head
with the butt of a pistol he passes out.

am in charge of this group and noone else is joining us.
bandit 2: but he's harmless and weak why would you kill him for
stumbling on to an abandoned building.
Bandit 1: because he has ruined our position and made a hole in
our fence. because for all we know he could be a psycopath that
will kill us while we sleep.
Bandit 2: then watch him all the time see what he is like. talk
to him, find out who he was before all of this happened. what if
he has a family or group still out there waiting for him?
Bandit 1: good point.
Bandit 2: yeah see he can stay he's...
Bandit 1: its a good point because he could run away and find his
group lead them to us and kill us all. i'm going to gouge his
eyes out so he cant lead them back to us.
Jeremy: No! No! No! Please no! im on my own. i dont have a family
or group out there. im just a man trying to find out whether his
