Props/Location
Gun-"Function" guns are essentially highly
detailed toy, replica guns. They look and feel like
real guns and can be loaded with realistic looking
brass bullets, but they do not fire. These are
typically used for scenes that require an actor to
brandish and manipulate a firearm but not fire it.
These are just for show.
Glassware
Sugar Glass-Sugar glass (also called candy glass, edible glass,
and breakaway glass) is a brittle transparent form of sugar used
to simulate glass in movies, photographs and plays. It is much
less likely to cause injuries than real glass, and it easily breaks
convincingly, making it an excellent choice for stunts.
Shots,Effects and Angles
Shootings- A zoom on the
gun to create tension, a
zoom is a a function of a
digital camera used to
make the image seem more
close-up.
Close up - A close up
-Close-ups display the
most detail, but they
do not include the
broader scene.
Moving in to a
close-up or away
from a close-up is a
common type of
zooming.
Importance on two characters- Focus
:Focusing effects, such as deep focus,
shallow focus, and rack focusing, are
used to direct the viewer’s attention to
particular subjects and/ or actions in a
frame.
Deep Focus- Whenever
all of the subjects in a
frame, both in the
foreground and in the
background, are crisp
clear and are in focus,
this is known as deep
focus.
Shallow Focus -When using
this terminology for camera
focus, shallow simply means
focusing on a subject, whether
in the background or
foreground, resulting in
everything else being thrown
out of focus.
Blackout when gunshot
goes off and then the
blackout begins to
dissipate
creates suspense which is usually found in thriller
Sound
While characters are running deep breathing can be heard
Sepearte recording of deep
breathing which can be
dubbed in.
Glass everywhere
sounds of glass being stepped on could give a good effect
Sound is arguably on par with video as the most important element to be able to manipulate and
control during production and post production. Too often filmmakers focus all of their attention on
video footage and ignore the quality of their sound. Interestingly enough, audiences seem to be
more annoyed by poor sound quality than by poor cinematography
Zombies
the body of a dead person given the semblance
of life, but mute and will-less, by a supernatural
force, usually for some evil purpose. the
supernatural force itself.
While zombie films generally fall into the horror genre, some cross over into other genres, such as
comedy, science fiction, thriller, or romance. Distinct subgenres have evolved, such as the "zombie
comedy" or the "zombie apocalypse". Zombies are distinct from ghosts, ghouls, mummies, or vampires,
so this list does not include films devoted to these types of undead.
he term "zombie" was introduced into
American public consciousness in 1929
as a Haitian Creole world for a corpse
reanimated by voodoo; soon
thereafter, it was exploited by the
motion picture industry in an array of
horror films
Mobile (able to move) but technically dead, without a heartbeat or
other vital signs In a decaying (rotting) state, with discolored skin
and eyes Non-communicative (groaning and howling instead of
speaking) Unemotional, with no mercy toward victims Hungry for
human flesh (zombies ignore animals like dogs or cats) Clumsy and
violent Vulnerable to destruction of the brain, which kills them
Unaffected by injuries, even normally fatal ones, as long as they do
not hurt the brain too much Contagious: a person that is bitten by a
zombie will become a zombie Does not attack other zombies,
leading to swarms of zombies
Make Up/Costume
Horror makeup artists are responsible for creating and applying the makeup necessary to transfer
actors into the characters they depict on film, TV or stage. They discuss the characters with writers,
directors and actors and sometimes do research in order to create the right look. Becoming a horror
makeup artist requires not only creativity and a strong visual sense, but also training and experience
in the field of professional makeup, as well as strong attention to detail and the ability to recreate a
character's look so continuity is maintained throughout the production
