Research and Planning: Film magazine to date

My movie magazine to date.

Research and Planning: Scenes left to film

In order to finish my teaser trailer I still need to film the newsreader section of my trailer and also the locking doors scene and the panic scene needs re filming. If I can do this on the upcoming Saturday then I will be on track to finish my trailer by Friday 4th March. (this is not including souundtrack)

Research and Planning: sound influences for teaser trailer

After looking into the sound aspect of my teaser tralier, I have decided to look at adding certain sound effects to build the tension, sounds like cars crashing and windows smashing is a heavy convention in films were panic is featured. Also I have looked at music from other zombie films and found lots of purcussion instuments have been used, I will take this into consideration when making the soundtrack for my teaser trailer. Also looking at existing trailers like 28 days later , 28 weeks later and resident evil 4&5 trailers I have found that the trailer is mainly based on sharp errie sounds and then music is played over a small action section of the trailer, then at the end the errie sound returns to finish off the trailer again leaving the audience with suspence.

Research and Planning: film magaizne layouts

I will use these text layouts on my magazine to make it look more like a real film magazine.

Research and Planning: Film magazine to date

This is my film poster magazine to date and as you can see from the original image I have added a different image of Adam over the top of the background image. I decided Adam was not close enough to the camera and he needed to be the focus of attention.

Research and planning: Possible sound for trailer

This is the possible sound I will use on teaser trailer. I will try all the voice over on the trailer once and if I don't like any of them I will not be featuring it in my teaser trailer.

Research and planning: Script additions for newsreader

NEWSREADER: this is an emergency broadcast, there has been a major outbreak and the dead are rising. To keep people safe the government has released these instructions to keep you safe whilst the country is in Quarantine.

1. DO NOT PANIC
(cut to people panicking and running during the day)
(cut back to newsreader, camera zoom in)

2. LOCK ALL DOORS AND WINDOWS
(cut to people locking doors and windows)
(cut back to newsreader, camera zoom in closer)

NEWSREADER: And finally whatever you do, do not go out side alone!
(cut to Adam surrounded by zombies)
(Cut back to newsreader)

NEWSREADER: Is... is that it?, good then let's get the hell out of here!
(zombie Adam bursts through the door and staggers toward newsreader)
NEWSREADER: Wait ... NOOOOOO (screaming continues)
(cuts to emergency broadcast screen)

Research and planning: New images for magazine

These are the images I will use to make my film poster, I will now edit these images it make to look like Adam is left on his own.

Research and planning: Film magazine tweeks

These are some of the developments I have my made to my film magazine , I have added a green tinge to make it look like the area is infected and I have also made the corners of the image darker so it looks like things are going dark around Adam.

Research and Planning: finished film posters

These are all the posters I have made, but out of these five I will choose one to be my final poster and then this section will be complete.

Research and planning: make up test shots

After my audience feedback they told me that the zombie make up needed improving. Here are some test shots:

Research and planning: Audience feedback

This is the audience feedback from my teaser trailer and I think overall that the feedback that was given to me by my class mates has been very helpful. from the information given to I now know that I need to reconsider my make up for my zombies and consider getting some fake blood and pale face make-up to make the look more realistic on camera. I will also look at the the expressions on the actors faces and see how I can make them look more like they are being attacked by a mass of zombies.

Research and planning: Plan for magazine photograph

I have arranged with Adam to come to my house for Tuesday 14th February, he needs to bring:

His car
Costume - coat, shoes and jeans
