The 5^th wave.

 The 5^th wave is an apocalyptic science fiction film which was directed by J Blackeson in 2016.

In this apocalyptic film a spacecraft the size of a small city is orbiting earth. The creatures upon this spacecraft are referred to as: “The others” and on the 5^th wave are their attack “The others” merge consciousness with the human’s host. They are around 300 survivors in a small camp when the army roll up and take all the children saying that they’ll be back for the rest of the adults. What the children don’t know is that when the children get to the army base the military use deceptive technology to convince the children that all humans that’re outside of this base have been possessed. The army then train these children forming squadrons out of groups of them and send them on missions to kill the remaining humans.

This film is similar to ours due to “The others” merging consciousness with the humans as in our film it’s the clones absorb the consciousness of the human.

28 days later.

28 days later is fantasy/ Science fiction film which was directed by Danny Boyle and was released in 2002. Some animal rights activists free a chimp from a medical research lab. This Chimp was infected with a rage virus. The film starts with the main character(Jim) waking up from a coma in hospital after a month to find the entire city deserted.  Jim then finds a group of survivors who he joins on a gruelling journey to what the group hopes is safety.

This film is similar to our films as they both are post-apocalyptic SC-fi films. In 28 days later however, it’s more of a zombie like apocalyptic film whereas mine is more mind controlled clones.

Detailed description of the first 3 minutes of my film

Detailed description of the first 3 minutes of my film

The 4 main characters are sat around a camp fire in a wooded area, can be set at dusk or early morning. They are talking about how the world went to pot. The screen then goes black and you can hear sirens and devastation. The characters are discussing the law the government passed. The screen will then transition to another scene, flickering transition, to a new room where a scientist is talking to the camera about the new law that everyone must give a sample of their DNA to the officials who will use it to help prevent crime. The camera then flickers/ fades back to the main characters sat around a campfire. They then say that after that there was rioting and, looting as the people were not happy with the new law that was passed. The scene then cuts to footage of buildings on fire and mobs running through the streets. When it cuts back the camera then cuts to footage (looking through a man’s eyes) as he’s stumbling towards the group in the woods. We then see a hand grabbing one of their shoulders and they turn around and scream. The camera then does a shot reverse shot of the person whom the hand belongs too and it’s a clone of the same person. With the camera placed on the floor looking up at his clone, the camera is drifting in and out of focus. The camera then re focuses on all the characters. They are the top of a hill and are holding hands in a circle as a plan approaches. Then all of a sudden the screen goes black. The next scene the camera is positioned laid down on the floor (in 1^st person again).He can see one of his fellows hitting the dead clone on the floor with a baseball bat, he’s been set on fire. He’s out of breath and panicking. End of 3 minutes.
