Research

The following songs are some that we could most likely use if we could not use the original.We researched into the "jump scares" which they use for horror films. This is meant to add a scare element to the start of the film.

These sounds such as jump scares help to add to the connotation of the film.

Feed back from draft 4

Feedback from 4th Draft

This is the feedback we got from our screening in one of our lessons. 

Although I wanted the title sequence to contain no zombies (as it confuses the audience and makes the audience continue watching), that seems to be what everyone complained about and wanted us to improve. We filmed some more screen captures of more zombie related things and will edit that in today. 

Confusingly, the class complained about the music while others liked it. 

I do like the idea of the title names being facebook related, so I have filmed something to create that. 

It was suggested that the title didn't work and to perhaps use; 'Facebook Feed' instead. 

There is a really short time to complete all this work in time for the deadline AND finish the evaluation. 

Costume plan

These are the items of clothing that our protagonists will wear when the filming begins.This will help us to keep a good knowledge of how are characters to act and will perform in that manner.This will allow for greater planning.

This is a plan of the clothes that our protagonists would wear (of something to that effect). Throughout the shoot, our actors will wear something to this effect. 

Questionnaire

In our groups, we came up with a questionnaire to give to people about our film, this is the feedback we received from the participants:

 

Summary:
 Overall, our audience expect for our film to be a dark comedy/horror/action. They expect to see death, violence and zombies. They expect to see zombies, killing, news footage and an introduction to the film within the title sequence. They expect to hear screams, zombie noises, gunfire and slow deep music in the title sequence. They expect to see low key / dark lighting. They think the protagonist should be aged from high teenage years to low 20 year olds. There is a 3 - 2 on the type of font the title should be (we should play around with the title more with these fonts and ask again). The audience would typically see the film late at night and at the weekend, typically children aren't around at night and this would put the audience in the mindset to be scared, getting the audience ready for the diegesis of the film. Typically, the audience expect to see a low budget.

Group feedback (voice notes)

This is the groups feedback and voice notes of our progression so far within the project of creating our title sequence.The idea of these voice notes were to help the group to recap on our ideas and add new ideas to the plan.I personally have listened to the voice notes once to recap on our previous ideas and the others in the group have done the same.

Group Feedback:

-Research into background things 

(look up zombie make up, etc)

-Storyboards

Blog Feedback:

 -Add label gadget to blog
- Sort out labels on the posts
-Create a slideshare account for any future powerpoint presentions/documents 

Settings-locations

For these series of shots we decided to go to Bostal woods at around 11:30 am.It was unfortunately raining so the process of taking images and recordings took much longer due to the group having to make sure the camera was well protected from the rain.

Week 4 group planning

Group planning:

This is the group planning effort which involved the entire group finding different pieces of work such as music, tutorials and even sounds. All of these pieces underneath this paragraph are demonstrations of some of the things we found.We have decided which music will be best for the title sequence and we have decided that the song Lost one -Silver Medallion will suit our sequence the best because it gives a modern sort of feel to our sequence.


Music choices:

 




   






Makeup tutorial:


Example of zombie sounds:



We decided on these ideas when we were on a break at lunch.We decided to research into different types of no copyrighted music and found a couple of possible soundtracks which we could edit and use in our production piece.We found a couple of tutorials of zombie effects and make-up which followed by the zombie noises
