CONTENT OUTLINE:
The world has been devastated by the unintentional detonation of a nuclear
bomb.
Civilisation has fallen into disarray with most people having turned into mutants.
Some people have been spared this terrible fate, however. Despite being
irradiated and horribly disfigured, Bryan Wesson is one of these.
We first encounter him, and his two-headed, sunglass wearing pigeon friend
Pigeuo sat on a bridge overlooking a burning city.
They talk for a period of time, and introduce the circumstances.

 Their conversation prompts us to enter a flashback.

We find ourselves in an office type space which is showing signs of extreme abandonment
and ruin. Laying on the floor by the desk, Bryan stirs.
Gradually his view comes into focus and he sees Pigeuo for the first time who greets him.
The boy gropes for a weapon and finds a conveniently placed pistol at his side. Panicked,
he points it at the bird.
Pigeuo protests this move and an argument ensues.
After an implied passage of time, a loud noise disrupts them.
They decide to investigate, putting their introduction behind them.

 They creep towards the source of the noise and discover a hideous super-mutant.
It has four arms, a morbidly obese frame and faces protruding from its stomach.
Bryan immediately shoots at it, but bullets do not harm it.
As it approaches, the Pigeuo and Bryan scream. The mutant falters, showing that the highpitched frequencies are a weakness.
They use this knowledge to defeat the creature.
Once beaten, an overly excited and mysterious man emerges, praising the pairs actions.
Still in a state of shock, Bryan shoots him and he and Pigeuo-not knowing what to do-leave
him there and walk away.
The man partially mutates, hints at how he knows Bryan and vows revenge.

 From a distance, we return to the Bridge and see the characters as silhouettes.
Bryan seems to be talking to himself as we do not hear Pigeuos responses.
We realise that Bryan is hallucinating Pigeuo to life and he was, in fact, taxidermied before
the nuclear fallout.
As Bryan laughs to himself, the scene fades out.

JUSTIFICATION:

THIS IDEA IS
DIFFERENT TO
ANYTHING
THAT I HAVE
DONE
PREVIOUSLY.

UNLIKE ANYTHING
ELSE ON THE
MARKET.

IT
INCORPORATES
VIDEO GAME,
COMIC BOOK
AND HORROR
STYLES.

IT WILL BE A
CHALLENGE
TO WRITE
AND
RECORD.

WORKS OUTSIDE OF
THE CONVENTIONS

ANIMATION.

TARGET AUDIENCE:
AGE:
MY FOCUS GROUP FELT SIXTEEN/SEVENTEEN YEAR OLDS AND UP WOULD BE BEST TARGETED.
ALLOWS ME TO EXPLORE A WIDER RANGE OF SUBJECT MATTER
CAN INCLUDE MORE GRAPHIC HORROR
ANOTHER COMMENT SAID HOW THE PIECE APPEARS TO BE CHILD-FRIENDLY AT FIRST, BEFORE BECOMING A
MORE INVOLVED AND MATURE STORY.
THE HIGHER AGE BOUNDARY ALLOWS ME TO INCORPORATE GORIER FIGHT SCENES, SLIGHTLY STRONGER
LANGUAGE AND REFERENCES TO POP-CULTURE, LIKE IN FAMILY GUY AND SOUTH PARK
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEpwBVXbKhs) .
I DO NOT WANT TO MAKE IT TOO GROWN UP IN TERMS OF THE CONTENT.

 GENDER:
THE FOCUS GROUP FELT THAT MORE MEN WOULD WATCH AS POST-APOCALYPTIC STUFF IS TYPICALLY MORE
APPEALING TO THEM.
MEN USUALLY HAVE PREFER HORROR AND COMEDY, OUTNUMBERING FEMALES 11:10 AND 2:1 RESPECTIVELY.
IN ADDITION, 56.6% OF SERIES REGULARS ARE MALE.
I HAVE NOT INCLUDED SEXISM OR EXTREME CRASSNESS SO AS NOT TO BE OFF-PUTTING/OFFENSIVE TO
FEMALES SHOULD THEY WANT TO WATCH.
LIKEWISE, THIS HAS NOT AFFECTED MY CASTING CHOICES.

 SOCIO-ECONOMIC GROUP:
ONE OF THE FOCUS GROUP MEMBERS SAID THAT THEY THOUGHT GROUP E STUDENTS WOULD BE THE
PRIMARY SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS AS THEY WILL LIKELY HAVE PARENTS WHO PAY FOR TELEVISION ACCESS
AND SUBSCRIPTIONS, I.E. NETFLIX (WHICH HAS OVER 75 MILLION CUSTOMERS).
THIS ALSO CORRESPONDS WITH CURRENT MEDIA TRENDS; ADOLESCENTS WATCH APPROXIMATELY 2.1 HOURS
OF TELEVISION A DAY, 38% DOWNLOAD THEIR PROGRAMMING, WITH 60% PROCEEDING TO VIEW IT ON A
TABLET, LAPTOP OR MOBILE PHONE; MY WORK SHOULD FIT INTO THIS TIME SLOT AND BE AVAILABLE TO
DOWNLOAD/WATCH ONLINE.
THE OTHER INDIVIDUAL IN MY FOCUS GROUP BELIEVED THAT GROUPS B, C2 AND E WOULD BE THE TARGET
AUDIENCE. AS THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO WILL HAVE THE MOST ACCESS TO PAID FOR
SERVICES/SUBSCRIPTIONS, I BROADENED MY TARGET RANGE TO CATER FOR THIS DEMOGRAPHIC AS WELL.
ADDITIONALLY, THESE GROUPS, ESPECIALLY C2 AND E, WILL HAVE THE TIME TO ENGAGE WITH MY PRODUCT.

 LIFESTYLE:
THE ADVENTURES OF PIGEUO AND BRYAN WILL BE EPISODIC AND PROGRESS CONSECUTIVELY WHICH
REITERATES THE IMPORTANCE OF THE VIEWER HAVING TIME TO WATCH REGULARLY.
BOTH FOCUS GROUP MEMBERS AGREED THAT THOSE WATCHING WILL MOSTLY BE WHITE BRITISH/AMERICAN
AND STRAIGHT.
I AIMED TO MAKE THE CONTENT RESEMBLE A VIDEO GAME IN TERMS OF ITS APPEARANCE MEANING THAT A
PORTION OF THE VIEWERS MAY BE INTERESTED IN THESE PRODUCTS.
LIKEWISE, THREE IN FOUR CONSOLE OWNERS USE THEIR SYSTEM TO ACCESS NON-GAMING CONTENT AT LEAST
ONCE A WEEK, WITH 39% WATCHING TV ON THEIR DEVICE AND AN ADDITIONAL 13% ON HANDHELD
CONSOLES .
AWARE THAT THE AUDIENCE WILL LIKELY BE YOUNG AND EDUCATED, I WANTED TO REFLECT THIS IN THE
STORYLINES AND CHARACTERS.

 LOCATION:
KNOWING THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS OF THE AUDIENCE, WE CAN INFER THAT THEY LIVE IN A SUBURBAN
AREA.
THE E STUDENTS GROUP WILL STILL BE LIVING WITH THEIR PARENTS IN THESE HOMES, WHEREAS THE MORE
ESTABLISHED B/C2 VIEWER WILL BE THE HOMEOWNER.
THESE RECOGNISABLE LOCATIONS SHOULD BE USED IN MY WORK SO THAT THE SITUATIONS ARE PUT IN A
CONTEXT THAT EFFECTS THE VIEWER.

Props Expenses: As I am re-working a

previous set, there is no cost in this respect. I
will have to purchase wood for the bridge
