1. Introduction: what did you make, who did you work with and where did the original idea come from?
- Introduce the brief, what are you going to make, how will you carry out research into horror films and use the findings?
Our aim is to make the opening 2 minutes to a horror film. The genre we have chosen is zombie horror and we will be using the typical conventions of a zombie horror, such as blood, to make this clear. We have carried out research into various existing zombie horror films such as, Dawn of the Dead and 28 Days Later and we found that typical zombie films consist of the main character fighting for survival, as well as the stereotypical zombie image of ripped clothes and blood. We have used these findings by including these type of things in our own horror film, such as the main character being in a hideout and fighting for survival (as they are supposedly the last human alive) and the zombie being covered in blood.
- What as inspired your initial idea? Current events? Existing films? What are you trying to do?
Our initial idea was inspired due to us wanting to be more creative with our film. In our preliminary exercise we tested which genre we would use by trying out the psychological genre. After this we discussed that we would like to be more creative and experiment with things such as make up which led to us choosing the zombie horror genre. From then on we needed to create an actual plot line so we used our research to help us with this and created a character who was fighting for survival and a threat to them - the zombie.
- How has your production worked out? Who did you work with? Was this an effective relationship? How did you manage problems?
Our production has worked out quite successfully, however if we were to do this again in the future and make any changes, we would organize things better, such as when everybody is available to film, including actors not just us. Our group consisted of Hollie Smith, Tina Bozorgi, Lewis Jefferson and Laura Allitt, however we also worked with actors Lisa and Michael and make-up artist Lucy. I belileve this was an effective relationship as we were all willing to suggest ideas and consider everybody elses. We rarely had problems, our main one was finding time when we were all available to film. We managed this by making compromises.
- Link Trailers and images from films from your sub-genre to support your decisions?
