Characterisation and props

Our main character was a teenage boy played by Dan. We purposly didnt give away his name in the opening sequence as it made him more isolated from the audiance, just like he is isolated from humanity in this zombie post apocalptic world. We made him wear warm clothes as he is sleeping outside and a bag, full of food and other essentials. We made him look nervous and on edge throughout the scene.

We needed to get a largish group of people to be zombies in our scene. We recruited 7 friends and fellow media students to play these roles. They wore ripped and old clothes and messed their hair up. We also made fake blood from water, flour, coffee and red food colouring which we put on their clothes and faces. Since we were working to a very tight budget (there pretty much wasnt one) we had to make do with what we already had and what we could make. We told them to move fast, yet awkwardly to portray the rage-infested zombies. I personally feel that they did a great job at performing as zombies and have contributed to our media peice greatly.
