Initial Ideas

Idea 1
The opening scene of this slasher would be of a news reporter warning viewers of an escaped murderer, fearing that he has come back to his hometown. Panning out of the TV, is a man sat watching the news, but not really taking any of it in. When he daughter comes into the room she tells him she is going to walk the dog. Unfazed by what she is doing, he lets her go. Establishing shot of the woodland, and the dog comes charging through with her walking behind. Series of shots through trees, close ups of her walking, and then the dog runs off. False scare as she searches for the dog, of branch breaking. The dog then comes out from where the sound came from. She then speaks to the dog, saying that they'll go back. Sound of another branch snapping, shot of girl through trees, and then she starts to run. Fast paced editing of cuts of the girl running, different angles and shot distances, 30 degree rule. A black silhouette is stood ahead of her blocking her path. As she sees him she runs up the hill into the trees, coming to a road where she runs out. A car pulls up, offers her a lift. Without thinking she jumps in, staring out of the window looking for the man, she can't see anything. As she is looking out behind her in shot you can see the driver staring at her, and a knife by the hand brake. Zoom into the blade and fade out.

Idea 2
A group road trip to the North takes a detour as they break down and walk to the nearest town to find somewhere to stay in the middle of the night. The only place open is a small bar in the deserted town car park. As the group walks in to a dark and gloomy pub, they just assume its a Yorkshire thing; however as one goes to the bar to order some drinks and ask to use the phone to call a breakdown service, realisation hits that the towns people are zombies.
The opening will start with the group of 3 guys and 2 girls, driving along the moor roads. Various shots of the car driving, through the trees and inside the car.

Idea 3
A Zombie slasher, in which the opening sequence starts with a couple driving, close up shots of them laughing, parts of the dashboard, the scenery - included a shot of an emergency phone box. They then pull up, start making out and then shots of outside the car, with the windows steaming up. Diegetic sound of the CD player, along with the sound of the wind & trees. A groaning sound can be heard. Back inside the car, the girl hears the sound, asking what it is and the male replies with it being the wind. The female doesn't believe him and asks if they can drive on, he starts the car but the engine won't start. With no signal on their phone, he remembers an emergency phone down the road. He tells her to wait there as he goes to the phone. When found, the telephone wire is cut. Cursing he throws down the phone. Fast paced editing of broken up shots of something getting closer to the guy - jumpy and rough to signify the movement of a zombie. The man hears a groaning, turns around expecting it to be the girl, and a zombie launches himself on him. - Depending on time limit, the girl in the car would hear a muffled scream from the guy, confused she wipes away some of the steamed up windscreen. Not being able to see anything she is about to open the door when a zombie slams onto the windscreen where the patch has been wiped.  Fast cut to credits.
