how will i make this?

zombie films arnt easy, but i have some tricks up my sleeve to make it a breeze.
firstly ill keep on screen zombie smashing simple.
secondly ill use makeshift fake blood and make up to make the characters look like real zombies.
most zombie smashing will occour off screen, but movements on screen will be clear enough to see what is happening.
and finally ill give subtle hints to the situation at hand, such as a broken radio spiting out chunks of zombi reports and bloody hand prints on car windows.

genre, slight change

right. my previous idea of me being hit by a car will be very difficult. instead I'm thinking that when the main character stops and looks scared it cuts to a figure hunched over, the main character calls out "hey" at this point the hunched over character turns to the camera slowly with blood on its face. as you've probably figured out by now I'm thinking as a main focus....


ZOMBIES. this i can do very easily with a few changes to filming and some adequate use of fake blood and torn clothes.

front cover/advertisment poster

been working on a front cover for my film. this gives an idea as to what the film is about and who the main character is. the viewer of this poster wouldnt find it hard to see that this is a thriller or horror, the overall scene is dark and srange, black and white gives another dark feel to the atmosphere.

this also shows the kind of light i have to work with in the forest, the thin gaps between trees means ill get some nice light affects, ill have to be careful though because i want the light in the right place (on actors faces, key objects etc)

filming plan

filming plan, I'm filming tomorrow, the plan is to go to lydford in the morning with Sam, my co-Filmer. we will start at about lunch when the light is the best, the weather doesn't really effect my film as I'm happy with grim, dull weather. i will be DE-saturating the film anyway but dull weather would look good in my film.


i want the filming style to be dark and dim, showing how the character is in a dark situation and needs help

video plan

video plan from lucas ormond-skeaping on Vimeo.

here's my new video plan, it should explain what im trying to do.

storyboard

ive finished my storyboard video, its on vimeo but hasnt uloaded yet, ill upload it tomorow.

music has been decided.

I've finally made a decision for my opening music, the song is called 'Danger - keep awy' by slipknot, the song is slow paced and very strange, weird sounds and speech patterns can be heard in the background of the song, which is perfect for the feel of my movie.
