Role Allocation/Casting

As a group we many discussions on who would do what in the production of the film. We wanted to keep it to a small group of people as we knew the bigger the group the more hassle and the higher the chance of people letting us down or messing something up. We included people who would be reliable. 

Me, faye and liam came up with a number of pitches and decided that we would all take it in turns to film. Jack Wright was also greatly involved throughout the production, he helped with most of the filming.

For our first attempt at making the film, Molly Glave and Sam Houseago helped us out with the make up for the zombies. However after looking back we decided that due to us not wanting to use the same style of make up (as it looked too unrealistic and would prefer the zombie to still maintain a human look), that on the reshoot we would only need to have Faye and Jack do makeup, as this makeup would not take as long as to and therefore there was not the need to have many hands on the job.

When editing the final piece it was team work between the 3 of us, as we needed to discuss what looks best etc.

Once we filmed for the second time (and minor reshoot of certain sections) it was decided that Liam and Jack would be the ones who would film and work the camera, as me and faye had fake blood and other makeup on our hands which could of damaged the camera equipment. 

The roles were as follows:

Liam Owen                 Actor, Camera Person, Writer, Editor, Composer
Faye Slater                Actress, Rehearsal Camera Person, Writer, Editor, Make Up
Laura Sheasby           Actress, Writer, Editor, Make Up
Jack Wright                Actor, Camera Person, Make Up
Hannah Shepherd       Rehearsal actress
Sam Houseago           Rehearsal Make Up Designer
Molly Glave                Rehearsal Make Up Designer
