Sound bridge plays of heavy breathing whilst spectator is presented with a black screen. This creates an enigma as the audience begin to question where the sound is coming from. Fade in from black. The setting for this chapter of the teaser trailer = Deal seafront. Due to the overcast weather, pathetic fallacy helps to build towards the idea of something foreboding. Enter Protagonist. Protagonist is between the age of 18 - 25, wears a grey tracksuit and grey beanie hat. The grey colouring of clothing connotes isolation and detachment. This foreshadows how the protagonist becomes a victim of the virus that detaches him from normality and his senses. Medium tracking shot follows the young man whilst he travels along pathway located next to seafront (3 seconds). Cut to close-up tracking shot of protagonists face (2 seconds). This shot allows the audience to see the finer details of the protagonists face. Also, spectator is able to acknowledge that the protagonist is listening to music through his earphones. Cut back to medium tracking shot (3 seconds). Cut back to close-up tracking shot of protagonists face. Begins to have a nose bleed. Initially, he thinks that it might be nasal fluid so he thinks nothing of it and just sniffs. Whilst the blood continues to drip, passers-by start to stare (possible point-of-view shot) (2 seconds). Eventually, protagonist starts to feel blood touching his lips; sudden realisation that it was blood all along. Front facing tracking shot stops abruptly much like the protagonist. This helps to convey across to the audience, how the protagonist is confused about what has happened (the normality in his world has stopped). Protagonist starts to wipe nose with the back of his hand unable to stop the bleeding. Tracking shot facing protagonist begins to move away whilst protagonist is stood centre. Disequilibirium is established. Cut to black.
(Possible zooming out from television screen). News report is displayed on-screen. The report contains information regarding a virus that is sweeping across many regions of the country as well as world wide. Moreover, the virus's presence having a strain on the public health system (especially accident and emergency departments) as well as the symptoms of the virus itself are highlighted within the report. Sound bridge of news reporter begins. As the news reporter continues his or her's report, relevant images that match what is being reporter appears on screen. Visual montage begins. The senses of individuals start to deteriorate. Firstly, the ability to smell and taste (shot of individual attempting to hear conversation after losing hearing) and sight (blurred vision). The protagonist first realises that smell and taste are going when he cannot taste anything within his kitchen (coffee, mustard, onion). Protagonist's surrounding environment enters a dystopian state; individuals begin to vandalise property, looting from shops. Potential CCTV footage of rioters. Shots of various abandoned public places (streets, shops, parks) adds to the audiences understanding of loss of normality.
