                   Steve Moore
Writer and Co-Star of the film, he plays the comedic member of the group, the character is very outgoing and is very much so the comic relief of the film, he is pretty much playing himself in a zombie apocalypse.





                 Edward Shiers
Actor, he plays the third friend in the group and is the more of the punchline or the butt of the jokes between the friends and will end up being the most liked character in the film

'26:19' story

This is the story of '26:19' and the camera angles we plan to use in the filming process of the film.

26:19 Story Boards

These are the Story boards for the film '26:19'

the pitch '26:19'


The Pitch '26:19'

The idea for the film is it is set in the year 2019 and we will see events that take place on the 2/6/2019 where the dead rise. The idea is from Revelation 26:19 “Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead." This for me is the perfect reason for a zombie apocalypse, where three friends who are out camping for a weekend are completely out of their comfort zone, they have to try and survive in a place they've never been before rural England. A place where there is nowhere to call safe, so all they can do is try and run, try and hide ... try to survive and find a way home. All they can do is stay together.
(They cannot drive; they were dropped off at the location for the weekend)

The (Very) Quick Brianstorm


 In the Horror film it is about a painting of a falling angel with his skin half burning off to reveal bones, a man becomes fascinated by this picture saying "it just seems to call out to me i don't know why" as there is no name on the painting he assumes its the ark angel Gabriel he later finds out it is Lucifer being cast into hell, and it is in fact telling the man to murder people and leave them in front of the picture, this would happen and every time a body was placed in front of the painting it would disappear the next day but more and more skin would return to the angels body until he is complete again, and he comes back to get his vengeance.

 The RomCom idea was more of a joke as we had a thought that at a conference president Obama and prime minister Cameron meet Boris Johnson, and they both fall madly in love with him and in each others war to get him they actually start WW3 and in the end it turns out that they fall for each other because Boris isn't gay.... as I said this was more of a joke...

 In our thriller idea we thought that like 'Se7en' we could have a killer, killing 10 people over the course of 10 months in the ways that reflect the 10 commandments for Atheists, the antagonist kills these good people to prove there is no God.

Thanks for filling this in.




This was the questionnaire that i made, this was handed out to 10 different people who individually answered the questions by circling or putting a tick next to their appropriate answers. i used this and tallied up the results and put them into charts on a separate document. I will use the information given  to help make my film and put in what people want to see in a RomCom.
