Inspiration
As our horror opening title sequence is for a zombie movie we have studied popular zombie horror movies, this has helped us to structure the idea for our opening title sequence. The main inspiration for our opening title sequence comes from 28 Days Later (2002) as it starts with somebody waking up in a hospital in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. We have taken the idea and developed it into our own opening title sequence in which the female character will have a number of flashbacks to before she arrived at the hospital.
World War Z (2013) portrays a medical enhancement for humans which has spiralled out of control which makes the infected a lot faster and far more vicious to any living creature which had been previously known through the public. The use of this new genetically enhanced zombie displays the weakness of humans and also how a small mistake can turn into a global epidemic. Our opening title sequence is based in a hospital in which doctors are testing a serum on patients, throughout the opening title sequence other test subjects are shown, showing that the serum has infected the patient and turned them into a zombie. The zombies used in the hospital scene of World War Z show less gory zombies which induces more fear as it shows the desperation for them to attack any survivors. The idea of World War Z is to develop a cure against the outbreak of the zombie virus where as the idea for our opening title sequence is based around the testing of a virus on patients to see the effect, which results in the patients turning into zombies.
Another movie which inspired the idea for Specimen Z came from Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) in the scene in which Alice (a test subject for Umbrella) wakes up in a hospital bed. The scene inspired the idea for our opening title sequence as we could take the idea and change it to fit our story line. Throughout the movie Alice has a number of flash backs to when doctors took her and began to infect her with the "T Virus" which has infected the public, turning them into the undead. The flashbacks inspired our idea to locate our opening title sequence in a medical room where the patient is infected with the zombie virus.
