production and personal schedule

1. create blog and post our meeting minutes, production schedule, a questionnaire, a written script, evidence of what we have researched our horror, institution research, typography. we filmed our continuity piece so that we could get use to the equipment(camera, tripod, how to put the dv tape in safely) we recorded our continuity piece and the took the film to the mac room so we could edit it and get use to the imovie programme.

2. for our planning evidence we looked at other movies from our genre such as dawn of the dead, shawn of the dead, land of the dead, diary of the dead, zombie land and we also looked at a foreign film called dead snow.  we also looked at the typography from other films and we went to da font to play around with different titles.

3. we drew our storyboards and started to snowball ideas. when we finished this we then hired out our equipment and started to film our final decision.

4 after our filming this is when we started to edit, this is where cut unnecessary clips and added effects using i movie. we added our sound effects in from garage band.

5. this is our final step where we decided if anything needed changing with sound text and more cutting.
