Screen Grab of Zombie Shot


We like this shot because of the framing. We made sure that the actors aligned with the golden mean. We like the effect created by the fake blood and the eerie feel given by the red contacts. The fact that the blood looks runny and not just dry is also something which we think makes this shot work.

Lighting Design

on this photo we used a fill, key and back light to make all of Dan's body the same brightness. Unfortunately this didn't work so next time we have to make the key light dimmer so his face isn't too bright on one side. Otherwise this would've been perfect for our film before the zombies attack, as it would show that they are normal people in a normal town.
On this photo we used the key light and the back light to make a shadow on one side of Sarah's face, this makes her look mysterious and this is really helpful for us as we are making a horror film as it creates tension and creates an eery atmosphere in the room.


On this photo we used a back light, key light and a fill light. Unfortunately our back light was too bright so it was shining in Dan's eye. Next time we will make it dimmer so it doesn't make one side of his face too bright.

Pitch Feedback



We recieved some feedback from our pitch:
- Difficult to make
- Dialogue is needed for the narrative but creates cheesiness.
- Uniform on large scale
- Hard to find enough cast and location
- Too many zombies and too much gore could make it over the top.
- Make sure the zombies look good or it could look stupid
- A lot of people need make up

We have taken all feedback into account. We have people that would help us out with make-up so that is not an issue. We also have plenty of willing people who would be in our film so we have enough cast. Lots of people have their old school uniforms that we can use for costume. We are going to try and make sure we have enough gore and the correct amount of zombies but not too much so that it isn't over the top. We are going to try and find a good tutorial for realistic zombie make-up to help us make the zombies look good. We are going to try and keep the dialogue casual and realistic so it doesn't make the film cheesy.
