Day of the Zombie - Week 6

     Today, we began to rehearse in class. Not only that, but I have begun a story board using our script/outline. Edits to our script are being made including an opening monologue, changed opening scene, and an epilogue. We all brought in money to help pay for the cost for makeup and FX. We plan to begin filming either this weekend or the next.

Day of the Zombie - Week 5

     No progress made other than finishing up the script and discussing costs. Filming has been planned to start.

Day of the Zombie - Week 4

     Continuing our work on the script today, we made some progress. We are substantially behind on our schedule for Day of the Zombie and decided it was time to get it together. Developments were made throughout the day on our characters and their individual relationships with each other. Plot elements like loss of loved ones (to drive another character) and suspense have been created in our script as we went along. We discussed wether we should or should not include the idea that Cole and Brittany are together in the film. We thought about removing it because including that will make the story too involved for a short film. Thinking of how scenes went the script is being molded and changed as we go becoming a better film with more elements of film making. Scheduling when we can get together and work on the script (not at school) became a problem, because me and  Alissa have plans for the next two weekends.

Day of the Zombie - Week 3

     We spent today in class evaluating not only our other group members, but ourselves as well.  Mr. Trione helped us start on the script for DOTZ by showing us celtx.com, a website that allows us to all make edits and touches to the script as we write it.  My group decided that the story needed to drop some aspects and take it back a few steps in the outline, due to it being a SHORT film (too much complex stories within a short amount of time). Some of the side plots like the “love story” between Cole (me) and Brittany (Alissa). Because of the loss of these side plots, we added just a little more to the main story, but that would be spoilers.
