Thriller - Protect & Survive

Matt recommended us to look at a site called, 'Protect and Survive' to help us think about the basis of our parademic thriller.

The site tells you about how you would be able to remain as safe as possible due to any kind of attack, for example; a nuclear bomb.

It tells you about how to build an 'inner refuge' in preparation of a 'fall-out'. I found this very interesting as it gave me an insight as to how people would react in a situation which would prove life threatening. I like the idea of there being some case of survival in our thriller, a way out. I have an image of it reflecting 'I Am Legend' and instead of being a horror thriller something which although scares you and keeps you on your toes, has some hope for survival and is not all about the sufferers.

It also advises the readers about the different areas of food health relations and sanitation. Explaining that you should drink lots of water, pack lots of tinned food. For sanitation, bring necessities like Strong disinfectant. This could give us clues about props that we would like to use and I think it's good research in order to make our thriller believable to the audience and if we dot this kind of props around our setting then it could show the audience that the population tried their best to maintain the human race and survive.
