Shared Creation

When working on anything that involves story telling it is important to be clear about what happens next, about how the story moves from the start, to the middle to the end. This could be a problem when inviting people to add short films into a project. In order to help out here are two of the films in Consumed and how the plot opens out from these.

First a creature that was a man hunts two girls out for a walk in the woods.

And Now – A bitten girl slowly dies and turns into a zombie

Both of these can accessed from the community site built for evolvement of this film project. You can find it at http://consumed.ning.com/ .  This post will also be listed on the community to help with the process of building the zombies films.

If you’ve watched these two films you’ll see that a zombie in Consumed can just look like a dirty and deranged man charging through the woods like an animal and also that the process of becoming a zombie is a process that slowly removes concentration, thought and personality until all that is left is a shell.

So what next?

We have a situation where two zombies are wandering in a countryside area. My target is for these is to build up the picture on how they work by having an encounter with more people. What I want to show is how from one zombie we have two, then more and then many more. We’re not looking an uncounted zombies coming from the ground, but a process where a small number of attacks causes an increasing number of zombies. I’m going to be producing a timeline for this, a timeline on something small turns into something big.

This means that the call for contributions should be for encounters with just one zombie. A number of films showing how one zombie attacks groups of people can then be viewed as a pattern. How attacks in many locations contribute towards something dark and terrifying. The rise of the zombie.
