Our teacher had said that one of the key aspects, that will perfect our ruin our film opening, is the zombie make up. So we want to have the challenge but we don't want to go over board or get too ambitious because we don't want to ruin the piece.
These are some examples I looked at:
Now the first three do look cool, however they do raise questions regarding the issues they may cause. This first being whether it is possible for either myself or our group as a whole to create something to this standard, or even learn to produce something to a similar quality in the amount of time we have until we start to film the opening. The second is if this is possibly too much for our target audience, referring mainly to the middle example. We don't to loose are target audience by either loosing their interest and not appealing to our primary audience or having the scenario where a group such as the BBFC to raise the age limit on the film similar to This is England (Obviously this can't happen however we will treat this dilemma as if it could). If this were to happen it would cause a polysemic reading instead of anchoring the preferred reading.
However if we pulled the look off I think it would perfect our piece
These examples on the other hand are more likely to be our influence towards creating our own zombies, although they are likely to be extremely similar to this. As a group we prefer this kind of look because of the higher focus on the make up yet effectively using the liquid latex to create wounds that help make the zombies look realistic without an expensive amount of make up.
The example on the right is the make up for Nick Frost in Shaun of the Dead, which is the main influence of our piece and therefor the influence of this zombie make up intertextualises Shaun of the Dead
However the challenge for this is either over doing the make up or under doing the make up as it won't show on screen or it will show unclose and look terrible
