Filming Sunday 13th December

We have just finished filming the first scene and i feel it has gone really well because the animatric helped us to see which shots we needed to use and also the duration of the shots. However we have shot 3 different variations of each shot to decide upon the best. We will be putting the shots on the editing suite during the week and hopefully we will be able to decide upon the most appropriate editing style and the effects that will help reinforce the meaning of the narrative.

After 3 months of no contact from the scientists, the army sends a group of Special Weapons and Tactics soldiers to investigate what has happened, when the soldiers open the door and look inside the facility every single one of the scientists has vanished without a trace, but unbeknown to the soldiers, when they opened the facility, they released the virus upon Hull.
