Inspirations


Film Inspirations

These are some of the films/Televsion shows which was the main inspiration for our film:

28 Days Later by Danny Boyle




28 Days Later is a British horror film released in 2002 which tells the story of an incurable virus that sweeps through the population, and a small band of survivors who try to reach safety.
It was written by Alex Garland and directed by Danny Boyle - also famous for directing Train spotting (1996) and Slumdog Millionaire (2008).
The cast included relative unknowns Cillian Murphy, Naomie Harris and Megan Burns in leading roles alongside well-known character actors Brendan Gleeson and Christopher Eccleston.

Editing and final filming

 


Now that we have filmed the majority of our film Jack has started to edit it for the first draft of the film, which includes designing titles and credits which will be used for the opening sequence. James and I continues to work on the behind-th-scesn part of the film, and help with editing when necessary.

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.

 

Last minute preparations

 


The day before we started filming we did some last-minute check ups such as; getting the cast details, buying spare props, checking weather news for our shots/continuity. Filming takes place on Tuesday 19th of February and may continue onto Wednesday if necessary.
