Filming- Update

On Tuesday we filmed the majority of our film  in a woods near Harold Wodds. We had previsouly planned on having more extras/actors to play zombies but instaed we had to reuse one of the actors to play a zombie in a differnt scene. Some parts of the opening sequence include a flashback scene and these will be filmed at a later date, and will be filmed in a different location.

Locations

After looking for suitable locations for our zombie film we found the perfect spot:

 

The reason this location was selected, is because it has a deserted feel and gives an isolated tone to our protagonist, also the dark muddy enviroment fits with codes and conventions of where zombie films can be shot. The barbed wire fence also adds an element of danger as it creates the idea that the person shouldn't be anywhere near there and raises questions as to where the protagonist is. The murky pond in the background adds a nice touch of an eerie atmosphere all adding to the mood of the scene.
