Shooting schedule
To ensure that we didn't go off track in terms of filming we made a list of shots that needed to be done. We then expanded on these points to tell us exactly how, where and when certain events should occur. This page essentially includes all camera angles and assets that will also be very useful to the camera man when it comes round to filming it.
For the first film that we filmed was of a group of the undead. this needs to be filmed at a very slight low angle to give the effect that they are intimidating. However they also do not seem too dangerous due to the fact that the angle is only gradual. This is to give the effect that the apocalypse has only just begun.
Another shot that we film will be of a survivor running and is confronted with two pairs of zombie hands that crash through the fence. This will be a mid shot. The camera will also be positioned simply higher than the survivor and nearer to the fence where the hands are coming from. This could induce tension as the hands are then given the illusion of being closer and more dangerous than they actually are.
Another scene is a close up of another set of zombie hands that are flailing at the fence much more violently. This will make the audience realise just how brutal and quick this disease can kill given how blooded the hands will be.
We have another scene where we have first person perspectives of someone running with a female survivor running in front. Given that it is in first person the point of view could be from anyone which leaves mystery for the audience as to who is behind the camera. It could be a survivor but it could also be an undead chasing the female. The female we chose was blonde to match the stereotype that she may be more vulnerable than others in a dangerous situation.
we then snap to another tracking full shot of another survivor who is clearly running from something. He will be seen running, tripping and stumbling up against a bush for support. His facial expression must also be in focus so we can witness the fear in his face. This will be tracked using a wheeled tripod or another method of being able to film a tracking shot smoothly, safely and securely.
Finally we snap to a first person view of the same survivor who continues to run and then falls in a heap. The hand must be in shot so that his final breath can be personally felt by the audience as he reaches out for dear life.
