Zombie Movie

When it comes to zombies there is nothing I like more in films. Especially when mixed with comedy, like ZombieLand. Zombie films and Zombie survival are something that comes to my mind on a daily basis, what can I do with that golf club, when would this song be good in a zombie film etc etc. I love the ZomCom genre with a passion and its the type of film that I want to be making as a fully fledged director.  Below is my copy of the film edited by me.

 Getting dressed up as a zombie was great fun for the day as  its a great way to have a laugh and to see the public's reactions when walking around is great. I have to say I felt bad for the young kids who didn't particularly know how to process a zombie walking through the city. But it was a good sign that the make up was at least effective to make people have to give some of us a second look.

Reviewing the footage I was able to picture the way I wanted  to set it out the film. Like that of the original Zombie films like that of "Night of the Living Dead". The black and white effect in Zombie films I think is a very classic way to go and can make a film with gore look great. The footage I was given at the end of the day to edit was good but I feel like if I had been with a group of people I knew well that I would have been able to help create some more shots for the film and add to the general aesthetic of the film.

I would have liked to have been more involved in the film production and directing, but being a zombie meant I couldn't be a director. I could put my ideas forward but not being close with anyone within the group I felt a lot like an outsider and that I had no power in the group.  To have so many ideas and no one who was willing to listen killed my enthusiasm for the day even if zombies are my favorite genre. At the end of the day what I came out with was a decent edit of some decent footage. I feel the day would have gone better in a group of people I know and I can talk to as colleagues and discuss things without being rebuffed as happened.
