Final Poster



The poster image I am basing my ideas off is 'Attack the Block'. I am choosing this because like 'Attack the Block' my trailer will be looking at a modern horror. The way in which the characters are looked at from a low angle as if whom ever is looking is lower then them is insignificant, as well the them, the characters being insignificant to the alien seen in the top of the poster.
Differing this I took the POV of the zombie in my photo, hence the blurred edges and the shadow on the floor, as if it is the zombie looking at the characters. However I have situated the POV at a slightly lower low angle shot showing that in this case the characters have more power of the situation than the zombies.

The slant of the different texts in the ATB posters gives depth the photo. To do this within my poster I kept alot of the sky in blackening it slightly to add pathetic fallacy to the poster. As well as this i gave the text a small shadowing around it with a sharp edging to make it stand out and feel more modern.

Risk Assessment


Scene
Location
Potential Risk
Solution
Man by the fence
Abbey Wood
Unknown land, could be trespassing
Make sure the area is free to use, and if necessary ask for permission
Man running from zombie
Abbey wood
Running with the equipment on slippery ground e.g mud
Wear shoes with grips and contain the running to a small amount,  making the camera have most of the movement
Someone dead
Graved yard
The make up we used for some of the zombie scenes people may have been allergic to it
Do a tester on a small part of their skin and wait 20 minutes to make sure they are ok
Man in dark place
Cupboard
Could of fallen down or broken whilst inside
We each held a side of the cupboard to prevent any movement whilst the filming commenced
Action scenes
Outside/different areas
There will be a lot of running and active moments this means that there is a chance we could be very much involved and hurt ourselves
Take extra caution, remind each other to take care when performing particular scenes
Hand ripping clothes
house
The cloth being ripped my hurt the actor
Rip part of the material prior to the scene to prevent pain then jump the shots to look more realistic
Man with baseball bat
outside
A baseball bat if connected can really hurt
Make sure the baseball bat is not used for anything other than the scene and when it is used make sure it does not touching the actor what so ever.
Walking across bridge
thamesmead
Cars could come
Have someone at either end to alert actors of the oncoming of any cars
Woman running into window
Abbey wood
Could run into the window and break it or could hurt herself
Slow down and smack hands rather then head on window so there is less pain, or none at all
