After part-way creating my storyboard I am realizing that my original Idea just wouldn't work for the time I actually have to create my 2 minute piece. I changed my story so that ("Character 2") is not killed of straight away from the get go so the audience start to have a connection towards the character, being the best friend of the main character. I feel that the end of the 2 minute piece should be his death, that puts the emphasis that this world they live in is dangerous and no one is safe.
My initial idea was for This character to die off straight away by having his throat bitten by a zombie as he tries to grab a rifle that was found with the body of the zombie. After this they would start speeding down the road trying to get the character help but they are apprehended by bandits. The (Character 2) would be shot in the head as he is turning and the other character would be knocked out. The main character would wake up in a base controlled by these bandits. He would escape with the use of zombies around the perimeter, being the end of the clip.
Looking back at this, the audience wouldn't care about (Character 2) at all, it would just be a way to show that world is dangerous whereas I want the audience to feel a sense of loss of this character and the importance of this characters death as it takes a toll on the main character for the entirety of the movie. Due to this I have changed my story so it starts with my 2 characters showing their connection and how important they are to the narrative of the story and how there is this shift as (Character 2) dies, also giving this effect that the world is dangerous and no one is safe.
