Preliminary Idea -

The Uncanny - End of the World Fallout

My idea for the Uncanny project - showing signs of life without showing people - my first thoughts where of Nuke Town, end of the world, Fallout style compositions.

If the world where to end there would be constant signs of life all around though there would be no people to explain or fill the empty voids.

I wanted to make it seem as though the world has already ended and a few have survived, though finally withered to the demands of the wastelands.

Location -
Bunker, train tunnels, concrete walls, underground carpark.

Composition -I do have a specific 'feel' that I want to portray and for reasearch and influence I will be looking at some End of the World films such as The Book Of Eli, The Road etc.. However I will also be looking into some games such as the aptley named Fallout and Fallout: New Vegas.

Based on the above I want to use a concrete room, like a bunker. I want to have an old table sitting in the centre of the room with an old projector playing the '3-2-1' emergancy broadcast message with the reel stuck in between the 3 and 2 to show the 'event' occured just has the broadcast message went out.

I want Make it look asthough someone has been living in a fallout shelter, possibly home made. To do this I will need to following items -

Shotgun, dirty tuppa ware, dirty & broken plates, broken eye-glasses, used bandages, medical supplies 

I also want to have a set of dusty footsteps to show someone was there, but not any longer.

I have also toyed with the idea of showing death, though subtley.
