Films that are similar:
• Open grave 2013 directed by Gonzalo López-Gallego. Has a 6.3/10 review on IMDB. The plot is a man who
wakes up surrounded by dead bodies not sure what happened and must find out who the murderer is or if
it is him that is the killer.
This has similarities to mine because my main character does not know what happened when he wakes up in
hospital bed and has to deal with the problem independently.
• Shaun of the dead 2004 directed by Edgar Wright. Has a 8/10 review on IMDB. The plot is about a normal
guy trying to win back his ex- girlfriend, whilst dealing with the world turning into zombies.
The reason this has similarities to mine is it set in a very normal everyday scene when everything, out of no
where turns chaos.

3. Mise en scene
The costume of the family will all be casual wear as they have only gone to a simple restaurant. The mother
will be wearing her usual designer wear, whereas the rest of the family will be in jeans and tops. It is spring
so they will only have jackets and cardigans on.
The costume of the extra’s will all be zombies so they will have ripped casual clothing and blood stains on
them.
The make up will consist of natural make up for the family. The mother will look glamorous with bright lipstick
on.
The actors who play the zombies will have pale skin. White contact lenses and cuts on there body and face.
They will have black eye shadow under the eyes.
The props used will be plates and cutlery for the restaurant.
For the hospital scene will need a bed and glass of water.
The zombies in the hospital will be holding items that we consider frightening.
Materials such as needles and knives.
Non-verbal performance will play a strong role when identifying the zombies,
those who walk in a deformed, slow way will be the actors who are zombies.
