In this section I will be researching a minimum of five questions which I will hope to use within my documentary.
Who, What, Why, When, Where and How.
1) Who came up with the creations of zombies and where did they originate from? The creator of the animated fictional characters of 'zombies' is difficult to pin point to a certain individual but from the research I have gathered I am able have am idea of where the "infectious dead humans rise" in order to take revenge on mankind. Some stories are subjective from the ancient tribal people of West Africa/Haiti. Haitian folklore relates zombies with witch craft as they are individual who believe have unfinished business that needs to be completed. The mythology origin of zombies have developed dramatically in today society from spirit to a virus infection, impacted by the media through misleading films and television programs.
This will help me to develop my idea for my documentary as I will use this for a basic guideline then try relate all the information I receive from each interviewees on who it has developed in time comparing to the mythological creature in the early 1900's. During the start of the documentary I will give an introduction based on a summary of 'who and where' to engages my target audience within the first minute as they may not have the knowledge this will enable them to have a rough idea of what the documentary will include.

2) How realistic is a zombie apocalypse? During my research on how realistic a zombie apocalypse is I found out how possible it could be to occur some factors of this range from; brain parasites, neurotoxins, the real rage virus, neurogenesis and finally nanobots. The facts of scientific evidence suggest it could happen through the brain sending different signals that effects mentality. All of these proofs have been dramatised in order for film and game purposes, however scientists have claimed to cause and produce these viruses that cause a zombie like creation. Another believe is based on evolution where humans have developed significantly due to nano robots keeping a person who has died living through in the brain as connections and signs are send throughout the body to keep it up and moving. The result of this virus in an apocalypse is believed to end human existence by eating their flesh or also catching the virus.
The information that I have gained from the secondary source will allow me to develop different individual opinions for example 'vox pops, the presenter and experts'. As this will enable my target audience to create their own judgement on the topic.

3) What possible protection do we have in case of this situation does occur? Based on my topic questions how realistic it actually is the facts and opinions received will impact the protection we have in today society as research states that the top 10 ways to help prevent and protect individuals from zombie are; changing their homes to a remote location where individuals are not in danger from a potential virus, build doors and walls out of wood and metal, have weapons ready, create traps, sound diverastion and more including running. However for the government section their is no protection in place for an invasion but if it does occur it is likely for the services to treat this similar to a terrorist attack in the sense of lock down.
This will develop my documentary through reassuring the audience is an humours way in order for the dramatisation/ entertain side of the idea, as when interviewing the expert I have for the security measures I will be able to link back to the secondary information I have gathered so far.

4) Why would a zombie invasion happen? Some reasons of why it could happen could range from virus infections which affect the most important organ function which is the brain. However due to new studies there are drugs that create a similar zombie like factors which is to do with the brain giving signals to the rest of the body. This drug 'Bath salts' contain substitude cathinone, that have effects similar to amphetamine and cocaine. Some of these side effects of the drug range from excessive anger, paranoia, psychosis, agitation and even eating human flesh! Due to the drug becoming more and more popular this is result in serve injuries, incidents and even death. As a result of this many more individuals are willing to try create an invasion themselves to minick the undead. The research I have found out would allow me to develop my documentary through interviewing medical professionals on the danger these drugs have on the human body and what permenant effects are there too. This would also allow me to create a summary of all the different potential hazards that could be prevented and gain opinions of individual as this will as me to create a balance throughout the documentary.

5) When is it believed for the zombie apocalypse to occur? There are many opinions on when an apocalypse could occur in the future but the timing is unsure. However some opinion stated on the internet suggest that scientists could possibly cause this apocalypse to occur through the medical side of creating a virus through injecting it into the body of individual to create a zombie like creation. This a done by scientists shutting down specific parts of the brain which signals the rest of the body react in a way which effect the body overall, for example similar to the bath salt drugs. Through this research I found out that this would take a very long time to produce enough viruses to effect the whole universe. This information will allow me to develop my documentary on how realistic it is through the timescale of when it could actually happen this will allow me to add people opinion on it.
