Preperation, Research & Planning- Costume Plot.
We decided as a group that we wanted everyone in their own clothes. This was because; the main characters are going to be in their own clothes, and as a part of the film; the other actors will also be in the own clothes so that the main characters think they are just like them.
Some of the actors will have blood over them & then the girl main character Charleigh, will have blood only on her face. The main boy Charlie will have no blood on him at all.

Preperation, Research & Planning- More Zombie film research
The main inspiration for our piece was essentially the gloomy style of '28 Days Later' which was somehow a big hit in the US despite it's lack of income in the UK, the craze in the US lead to sequel '28 Weeks Later' which was actually directed like a US blockbuster with a far larger budget with a spectacular marketing campaign.
A Biohazard sign was projected on the White Cliffs of Dover a week before the movie was released, the sign is very relevant to the film's plot, possibly intriguing people to find out why the sign was there?
Viral marketing was also used by grafting the films website all over London, using removable paint to avoid any lawsuits. Props were also given away and a graphic novel was also released linking the two films. The marketing alone shows the total hijack of the original film despite that it is actually a very good film but it lacks the horrid feel that Danny Boyle created in '28 Days Later'. '28 Weeks Later' actually earnt almost $90 million in the US box office with DVD sales which just shows the sheer impact of a successful marketing campaign.

Our project is to do a short film to show the first 2 minutes of a film with titles. Having our project as this we will jump straight into the 'invasion' of the 'zombie's' coming after the two main characters we have, that think they may be the only ones left alive.
