Opening Two Minutes-Characters and Costumes

 

News Reporter-This will be the first character shown in our film. Our character will be a blonde middle-aged female wearing smart clothing. e.g shirt, skirt or a blazer. The news reporter will be speaking to the audience how to stay safe, how to defend themselves and where to go to get help. The news reporter is important in our opening two minutes as she is explaining everything, not only to those in the film but the audience also.

 

 

 Masked Survivors-During the news report a small clip is going to be shown of people walking around wearing surgical masks. The masked survivors will be wearing casual clothing except from the mask as it is protecting them from the airbourne virus. We want to make the survivors look drained and exhausted to get the emotion across.

 

 

Our Survivor- Our survivor will be a young girl and also our main character in our opening two minutes. The young girl's clothes will be torn and ripped in some places, this will indicate that she has been running and hiding for a while. To make her look tired and vunerable to the audience we will apply pale white make up to her face and apply dark make up to her eyes. We don't want to make our main character seem too weak however as she will be headstrong and powerful.

 

 

The Zombies-The zombies are also a main focus in our opening two minutes so when they aren't in the scene, the audience will be wondering where they are. The zombies will be wearing ripped and torn clothing also except they will be covered in blood. I have been looking on YouTube for make up tutorials so i could get a better knowledge and so i'm going to be applying the make up also to make the zombies more realistic.

Our Title



 

This is a short clip with music of how our titles will look.

We decided to make a short clip of how our titles will look once at the end of our film, we made sure that they stand out but we wanted them to fade in and fade out as we believe this would be the best way for our titles to appear.

    This is a still image of our title.
We decided on white titles on a black background as red titles didn't stand out and the colours faded into each other. The font fits our film also as it looks as though it's dripping or it has been slashed onto the screen. As our film is a zombie film as well this matches perfectly with our film theme.

Practice Titles

These are our practice titles for our opening two minutes, we've chosen the colours to be black and white, we then thought that putting a bold white font on a black background instead of red would be easier to see. We also decided to stick with a modernised font that is bold but also links to our opening two minutes.
