Zombie Movie Photo Class Assignment
Basis of Story:
5 exchange students come to MSU with aspirations of making a name for them selves. Looking to earn early extra credit in their chemistry class, they join the first group (of 6) in a genetic science experiment only possible due to the increased tuition rates that MSU has wrought on their students. Lo and behold, the 5 (6) classmates get caught in the science experiment that goes horribly wrong, causing a zombie outbreak on campus. They are forced to fight across campus to the their chemistry teachers apartment in order resolve the zombie problem before it spreads any farther.
------------------------------------------------------------
Pictures I plan on taking:
1) Chemistry lab, scientist and students
- explanation with a focus on the back of teacher’s head, students are barely out of focus in the bright white room
2) “red shirt” dies
- self explanatory scene, some kid gets bit by the zombie, I’m going to look for lots of blood and gore, and a red shirt
3) Line up of 5 or so zombies vs. 5 class mates
- could be shot in many different perspectives…this will probably take the longest and the most shots
4) battle scene
- characters use items to kick the shit out of the zombies
5) classroom, students discussing science project and extra credit
- quite easy…
6) explanation of outbreak to chemistry teacher
- maybe some people are already bitten….dunno, maybe use someone’s apartment.
7) Chemistry teacher owning some zombies with anti-zombie spray
- I’m thinking by a parking structure, maybe jumping from somewhere with spray can, zombies underneath shrieking in horror
8) Teach and students high five, dead zombies on floor
- self explanatory
(9-?) Their can always be more than just 8, and I plan on taking some
