This document contains location scouting information for a zombie film opening sequence from three students - Gelsomina, Tayla, and Chelsea. Gelsomina proposes an abandoned urban area with blocked windows for zombies to inhabit. Tayla suggests a sloped field where a zombie can be introduced walking towards the camera. Chelsea offers a bare, deserted area with scattered litter and dead trees to portray isolation. A list of potential filming locations is provided, including a country park and house. Travel details note driving or walking between locations 1 and 2. Health and safety precautions include checking locations are permitted to film and equipment protection from weather.
3. This is an urban setting that with the use
of blocked windows shows that the area
is no longer in use of humans and is the
perfect place for Zombies to habitat
Abandoned houses
4. There is a balance in the sky and land. With the Zombie
walking from the horizon towards to positioning of the
camera gives it great effect.
The buildings and houses in the horizon suggests that there
was once the life of humans.
Rule of thirds and Establishing shot
7. A slope. The Zombie can be introduced by coming
over the slope and slowly walking forward towards
the camera
8. This picture is the same as the previous picture but I wanted to capture
the level of ground and whether it was suitable.
9. The field is a quiet area and would be suitable for
filming as it is long enough for the 2 minutes the
Zombie to be walking.
The area is also isolated which the fits the theme of our opening sequence
The blue boxes indicate the footsteps of the Zombie.
They are slightly scattered in order to show to
slumberous walk of the Zombie
Rule of Thirds, Establishing shot
14. The uncompleted pathway creates the sense of the
area being abandoned
The other side of the bridge is located hereEstablishing shot
