Research and Planning: Audition Poster

 Today I created an audition poster to put up around college and hopefully to catch the attention of potential actors and actresses. We are mostly looking for zombie actors which I why I chose this specific image hoping that it would be interesting to people who may have similar interests. We will also need actors to play the evil Acura company and we can audition girls for the main role of Alexis Von Fury.

Research and Planning: Wardrobe searching

Today I searched through my wardrobe looking for suitable clothing to use for my project. As we do not have a very large budget we will have to use the clothes that we already own. These could then be shared between us. 

This leather waistcoat could be a good choice as it adds a 'rock chick' sort of feel to the character, the studs also bringing out this. Adding layers to the outfit will be a good idea as we can get away with wearing what looks like little but still remain warm.

The wet look leggings will add another dimension to the outfit and also create ease of movement for any running or action scenes we decide to shoot. The tight look of these leggings will also add to the idea of the male gaze which we are aiming to achieve.

This jacket may also add to the characters look. As we also aim to keep our actress warm lots of layers will be a bonus and help us look after her best interests and health. This jacket has a lot of chains and netting which could give the feel of action to an audience. 

For the top we could either use something simple like a black vest top or we could choose to use a lace corset. This example of a corset could work as it is not all black and could help the characters outfit to stand out. Using variations of colour will look much less plain. The corset will also add a 'sexy' feel to the outfit.

These are two examples of shoes that I am thinking about for the character, the pair on the left are the most sexual, the spiked heels making the costume much more 'rock and roll'. However these shoes would be much harder for our actress to run and generally act in. This is why I am now considering the converse boots. The boots still have a cool look about them and would be much more practical to act in.

Research and Planning: Film Poster Draft 2

This image is my second draft for my film poster. I am much happier with this design that the first one, I particularly like the idea of creating a vintage style zombie poster. There will be a slight pop art theme to the main image, possibly with the image being made up of dots. I may also consider adding a feel of pin up to the image. I am very keen to keep the font style as vintage however I might switch the credit information and title around. With the title being at the top.

Research and Planning: FIlm Poster Draft 1

This is my first idea for my film poster, this idea is rather basic but I feel that genre may come through easily with this image. The girls face in the foreground will be focused while the background will be a blur, the figure in the background is an infected zombie. Any idea is subject to change at this point because these are very rough drafts at the minute.

Research and Planning: Zombie Makeup

This is a makeup tutorial I used last year for my Halloween makeup, I searched for it again as it may be useful when I am experimenting with zombie makeup for my trailer. I will use this video as inspiration and possibly use some of the techniques when I am creating my zombies.
