Moodboard

This is a mood board of the ideas I would like to incorporate into my film. The first image is a fantastic demonstration of the look I’d like to achieve for the victims of the zombie attacks. As they are human they would not have the contact lenses shown in the picture, but the wounds and the state of the clothes are very similar (the clothes in particular differing to the zombies as they were not in fact buried and therefore there is not a great amount of rot or dirt in their appearance. Instead, good use of make up creates a nice wound and lots of brightly coloured blood).

The second and third images demonstrate the type of atmosphere that I’d like to create in my film. The pictures are shown in black and white (though I would like to use colour in my own film) and show good use of lighting to create the mysterious, eerily creepy feel. The zombies in the third picture are more the type I’d like to use, especially in terms of their movements; slow and unbalanced as opposed to the faster, more feral zombies used in modern films.

Though not particularly relevant to my film, the fourth image of Frankenstein’s monster also demonstrates good use of make up to create a horrifying look.

The fifth image shows the more modern attempt at zombie films, with more animalistic traits in the creatures and a much more frantic approach to their terror, as there are lots of zombies and they all move with speed, snarling and growling. Perhaps these are some ideas that I can incorporate into my film.

The eyes shown in the sixth image could be a fantastic idea to use in my film, giving my characters are much more inhuman look, making them more scary to the audience.

The seventh and ninth images demonstrate use of blood special effects; something that would need to be used a lot in my film trailer.

Image eight shows the sort of look I’d like to give to the zombies. As they were buried long before their reanimation, their skin is a much colder colour, with dirty clothes and make up used to create a withered and rotting appearance.

The tenth and eleventh images show the sort of setting and atmosphere that the characters experience. The tenth image shows the isolation and loneliness that my main character will live out in my film, while the eleventh demonstrates the typical spooky graveyard that the zombies will originate from. Both are settings I’d like to shoot for my trailer, and these images are a great reference.
