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.

Foley

Foley production is when sound effects are produced for post production for a film or TV show. It was made by Jack Donovan Foley in 1927

 

The potential problems of using Foley are that the format you save it in may not be compatible with the editing software, the quality may not be good enough to use. It would be easy as we have been given iPads to work with so we can record on the move.

opening music

Opening Music

Zombieland opening music

Sound effects – zombies growling, zombie biting into people, gunshot, glass smashing

Music – ‘whom the bells tolls’ plays in the background of the opening credits. Heavy rock song suggests anarchy

Shaun of the dead opening music

Music - ‘the blue wrath’ plays in the background. As it’s a comedy film the music is lighthearted and has a fast tempo

Sound effects – footsteps

Night of the living dead opening music

The music is eerie and suspenseful which gives a sense of unnaturalness, plays in the background

Sound effects – car driving past

The sound codes and conventions for this genre is ambient eerie background music, which gives the film tension. The sound effects used in this genre are mainly zombie noises, footsteps and occasionally gunshots depending on the type of film.
