Zombie Film Posters

 

Most Zombie film posters have a lack of colour on them, apart from maybe red, which signifies the blood and gore that is often associated with films of the Zombie Genre. The posters usually feature one main subject, for example a zombie, or in the case of the 2009 film Zombieland, the world after the Zombie apocalypse has taken over. The poster usually has it's title written in the colour red as it is associated with blood, and it is usually made to look like it was made out of blood as well.

With our poster, we wanted to keep the conventional feel of a zombie poster, as we felt like it would work with what we wanted it to do.We liked the idea of having a plain black background.

Virus Teaser Trailer

 

While we were producing our film trailer, we decided to create a teaser trailer for our film. A teaser trailer is usually released a long time before the main trailer, and is used to build hype around the film. We decided to create one, as we wanted the chance to play around with marketing, and see what ideas we could apply to the teaser. We added rock music and a special filter to the footage to enhance the cold and isolation of the footage.

We decided to have the scene set in a fire escape so that we could show that you cannot escape from the zombies, as they are everywhere.We used fake blood because Blood and Gore are constantly used in Zombie films as it reiterates the horror of someone having parts of them eaten. We don't specify wether the person behind the door is a zombie or a victim, helping to create an atmosphere of uncertainty. We wanted the audience to question what they would do if they were on this side of the door.
 

Overall we are happywith the syle of our teaser trailer and we really enjoyed creating it.

Research and Planning Provisional Marks

You need to respond to your previous targets George and you need to provide some analysis of the images and video posts you've posted recently. You analysis of trailers is brief and could be more analytical. It's hard to work out what you've been doing and when you've been doing it from your blog - so include some details of dates and times. You need to push yourself over Christmas to improve your result for research and planning George. 12/20
