Film Distribution



Film Distribution Ideas

20th Century Fox may distribute my film as they distributed 28 Days Later, which is similar to my film (ordinary people surviving just after the zombie infection). 20th Century Fox also distributed the sequel 28 Weeks Later. They are one of the most successful and popular film producers and have distributed many classic films such as Star Wars, Die Hard and Titanic.

Universal Pictures distributed Shaun Of The Dead, which is another zombie film, which has a similar premise to the setting of my film such as its set just after the zombie infection. As the film is similar they may distribute it as they have experience in the area but my film is more serious then comical

Colombia pictures distributed Zombieland. Zombieland isn’t really similar to my film, as it’s set a while after the start of the zombie infection. The characters in Zombieland influenced the characters in my film as it shows a tough character and a weaker character, which was what I wanted my characters to be. Colombia Pictures may distribute it because they distributed the remake of Night Of The Living Dead in 1990 and also distributed the more recent Resident Evil films.

final draft of storyboard

this is my fourth and final draft of my storyboard. I changed the plot quite significantly as i couldn't find a building to use as an abandoned building. As the previous plot revolved around the building i decided to change it altogether. Instead i used the premise of the film being set the day after the zombie apocalypse so it would tie in with the title and it would be easier to film (as in the building wouldn't need to look abandoned)

costumes and props needed for shooting


Costumes

Survivor 1 – regular clothes: T-shirt, jeans and a hoodie. Preferably old clothes so they can get dirty
Survivor 2 – army green jacket (to show military history), boots and jeans. Aside from the jacket, use old clothes so they can get dirty
Zombie – regular clothes (jeans, trainers, t-shirt etc.) but must have a hoodie to partially conceal their face.

Props
Survivor 1 – 1 BB gun
Survivor 2 – 1 BB gun, torch
Fake blood
Make up for close up of zombie

iPad uses

I could use my iPad to research films, keep track of what we are doing while filming by putting the storyboard and shooting script onto it. I can also use it to take pictures to use as evidence for the evaluation.
