Focus group

I went to a year nine class to let them watch my film and get some feedback from them as their age group is my target audience and I felt that it would be a good idea to get a true opinion form them.

From this I learned a lot about what my target audience thought about my film there were negatives and positives about my film. A few points that have given me something to think about are that a lot of the students wanted more zombies in the film and also more emotion from the actors and the film, however now I have added music to my film I feel that has brought out more emotion in the film.

I have also found out some answers that I wanted to know about my film that I wasn't sure on.

1. Would my piece be better as a short film or a trailer?

There was a mixed set of responses, however the main answer that came up was a short film as they feel that it would give too much away if it was a trailer, so on that basis I am going to keep it as a short film, I will also need to add a few more clips to give it the length of time required to be a short film.

Another question that I wanted to get an answer from was:

2. How do you think the film should end?

This question was answered by almost everyone in the same way that they wanted to see Cai dead and maybe one of the main characters die e.g. Callum.

Special Effects in my film

These are some of the special effects in my film and the behind the scenes photos of the Georgia helping to put them on Cai.

This picture show Georgia putting some modelling wax on Cai's face to show the rotting of the skin and the transformation that has begun on Cai.

This picture shows another special effect that we did and the acid burn/infection that Cai got on his hand when he spills it on him and this is the reaction we came up with.

This again shows the infection spreading and to do the effect on the temple we used the modelling wax again on this to get an effect of a cut head, we also used face paint and fake blood to help get this effect.

New Plot

New Plot



Two students are wondering through the school corridors when they happen to see a classroom of an old teacher who was once the school and had very bad rumours spread about him, the two enter the room and look around  to find any incriminating evidence, to there surprise there is some mysterious liquids. Cai one of the students starts to mix them and the other try to stop him by dong this they spills some of this new concoction onto one of them they are instantly hurt and try to wash it off it doesn't work and some side affects start to happen straight away increased anger, violence and also his hand and other cuts start to appear he pushes his friend Josh out of the way and runs out. Josh sees the Cai and recognises that he has been infected by the liquid. The infected student is now roaming around the empty corridors in pain when another student wonders into his path who he attacks, Josh finds him attacking the student and helps him out they both run away and plan how to deal with Cai.They plan to lead Cai into the car park and to Josh's car where his has a knife and they plan to create a diversion where Josh will distract Cai and the attacked student will kill Cai. In this process when Josh is trying to distract Cai, Cai grabs Josh to try to attack/bite him and Josh tries to reason with him for a second it works, however the infection has spread to far by now and Cai carries on trying to maul Josh, The student who was attacked (Callum) stabs Cai in the head before he can do too much damage to Josh; and now they are safe. but how contagious was the infection inside room S4!!

 Today I sent out an email, one to the head of Science. I need about an hour to be able to film a few scenes for my film and I think an appropriate place would be the science room as it has all the sort of things in it that could be associated with my film and some sort of experiment and the look that I am going for, and for me to be able to use this space I need to get permission to book out the studio. Here is the email I sent:
