Location

We may have a problem with filming dates and location, so we're going to put the filming forward slightly and the location will have to be looked into.

Poster 2nd draft

We are nearer to completing the poster for the film, but we need an image which won't be taken until the day of filming. We organized the layout, font and colour to make it look as professional and exciting as we could. We also included the names of the cast, director, editor and everyone involved. Also the poster has the logo's of real production names: Working Title, Studio Canal and Universal, also our own  for a new production name: Blue Box which I made the logo for. Justin designed the poster with input from the group as a whole to produce a poster that is near identical to a real one. We studied posters such as Sherlock Holmes to gather ideas and see how it should be set out.

Production company name

We decided to combine both of our production names from last year: Big Box and Blue Monkey, so we came up with Blue Box Productions as our new one. Today I quickly designed and made a production logo using Adobe Illustrator which is temporary, this will go on our poster and possibly at the beginning of the film.

Attracting The Audience

We sent an e-mail to the sixth form asking for actors/actresses so this has made people aware of the film too. Also Ryan created a Facebook page for the film so people can comment and send messages asking about it.

Poster Draft


This is our poster draft created by Justin. The qoute at the top: You're in good hands with a zombie, is an idea we found from using a slogan generator online and the image in the centre is yet to be done, we're going to get a photo of the cast. Samuel White's name is visible because he is the main actor, also the title in bold writing so it's very visible. It also includes the names of the directors and production names, also in the bottom right hand corner it has the date of when the film is to be released in the cinema.

Progress

Today we went to town and bought a cheap wooden table from the charity shop. We will be using this for the scene where Mickey throws it out the window/door because he can't be bothered to tidy up. We also have fake cigarettes for one scene and we still need to get the correct clothes sorted for each character, also we need to still get some other props: beer and magazine, which we will get on the day of filming and fake blood and fake hand which we will try and find before we film or make ourselves.
