My film idea

As media studies: short film idea

The idea is an apocalyptic based horror film set in present day.

Background information

 A new law is passed saying that every citizen of the United Kingdom must have a mandatory D.N.A check which will be kept on record for crime prevention and as a crime deterrence.  Little known to the residents this is secretly conspiracy and the government are actually creating clones of all humans. These clones then have to find their biological parent and absorb their conscience and mind which leaves the parent brain dead and collapsed on the floor. The government want a population that they can control, the perfect nation that they can also be used to lead into a war against some of the most powerful countries such as North Korea, Russia and finally America where they shall conquer Donald trump. This is inevitably will happen and it’s out of the hands of the 3 characters that the film will follow throughout the film.

The beginning

The main characters are sat around a camp fire in the woods. They are talking about how the government passed a law sating that everyone had to give them a D.N.A sample as to help prevent crime. They then are talking about how clones then fell from the sky and started absorbing the people’s consciences, and as they cannot be destroyed with normal weapons they soon took over. As they saw this they ran to the hills and hid in the woods. They find out the weakness of the clones when they are attacked by one and end up setting fire. The clone belonged to one of the main characters, as he touches the clones face he sees a vision of how he dies which is from a bomb being dropped on the group as they are in a circle, holding hands. He jumps back from the vision, panting and does not tell the others of the vision he just saw. They group then decide to test this new method of killing clones on a few stray ones on the top of the hills, as they conquer these the camera cuts and the screen goes blank.

The middle

The main characters are in the woods, again, with blow torches and other methods of fire and are building weapons to fight the clones with. (The clones are still wandering the village). As they are disguising their plan of going back deeper into the village to gain more supplies and that it was handy that these blow torches and weapons were in a garage on the border of the village. The camera then goes fuzzy and blurred. It re-focuses on a man in a white lab coat. He is sending a message, addressing the clones what he did to them and his big plan of world domination about taking over the world.  He then tells them that they need to make their way to the nearest check point as he’s going to destroy any survivors by dropping small nukes on towns and cities. The vision is cut and the same character who had the vision earlier, jumps back. Due to him touching the clone earlier he is connected to them and is able receive the broadcasts. As he jumped back he is panting out and of breath. The others are asking him if he’s okay and alright and he brushes them off. They then make their way down to the city and its almost empty. They are just a few left and they are all traveling in the same direction. After much arguing the decide to stock up on supplies and follow them to see where they are going. They break into a car and slowly travel down the roads and discover that all the clones are in some kind of metal structure with wooden sides. They decide to try and set fire to this and kill all the clones from the city.

The Ending

The next scene is a dolly shot around the round structure, all along the base is wooded and branches. As the camera, has moved around ¾ of the structure it stops and we can see the main characters pouring petrol, diesel and other highly flammable liquids onto the piles of wood. Then an alarm sounds and a few armed guards come out of the structure, and a few on top start shooting at them. ****** They dive into the car and set off, skidding, and drive around the car. A van filled with some of the armed guards in chase them. The van tries to run them off the road several times but fails. As the van reaches the edge of the city it stops and a massive hound chase the care back to their hideout. The main characters are unaware of that they are being followed. They park the car on the top of a hill then are attacked by the big hound. It pounces on one of the characters and is snarling at him, about to bit into his juicy flesh. Then a large knife was planted in its skull and it keels over. Lying on the ground he looked up and saw that one of his mates looking down upon them. About an hour later they can all hear a loud noise. They look up towards the sky and see 9 jets flying a V formation heading towards them. The know this is it, that this is the end for the. They stand on the top of the hill in a circle, their hands locked with each other’s as it all ends……(sad music playing, this is the same as the vision earlier)  

Alternative part

*******

As they all run, trying to dodge the bullets but one of them stays behind, trying to set the wood on fire. One of the guards lands a bullet in his chest and he slowly starts to bleed out. Another character, hearing the bullet penetrating his skin turns and sprints back for him, but the increase gun fire means he must head back. As he dives back into the car a bullet scrapes his left arm, and as the car speeds off, he watches his slowly fade away….
