Titles

We have decided to change the title of our film as we feel like it was to long therefore making it not catchy to our audience. We have a few more ideas, for example, 'The Unexpected', 'Eye's open', 'No Pulse'. However we have not come to a final decision of as yet.

Credits

This lesson we have focused on working on the titles. The credits go with the conventions of a zombie horror film. This is because it is in red to connote blood and violence and the font gives it a creepy feel. 

This is what our titles will include: 

A JABS production

Starring Lisa Bainbridge

& Michael Walsh

Directed by Tina Bozorgi

Camera Work by Hollie Smith

Edited by Lewis Jefferson

Music by Laura Allitt

Make-up by Lucy Atkinson

Both of our actors have agreed to this date so have the other crew members and we are all aware of the location we need to get to at what time. Here is the release form that we all signed.

Garage band

We experimented on garage band for the first half of our lesson. This helped us get an idea of what background sound we wanted playing during our opening scene. We also learned the ins and outs of garage band so we know how to use it when it comes to making our backing track.
