Dawn of the Apocalypse - Proposed Filming schedule - 11/12/11 & 14/12/11

Our group is getting prepared to film on sunday, we are using our own camera and tripod so no need to get the ones provided from school. We are filming the opening minute to our film on sunday and filming the rest on Wednesday so we can edit over the 2 days leading to the end of term.

Dawn of the Apocalypse - Make up And Special Effects - Update

We went on to the website, www.amazon.co.uk, and ordered a special effects kit which included moulding wax, spatula, cake blood, dark gel blood, sponge and a guide to help us. it cost us £10.28 in total.
I also have a BB gun that looks fairly realistic that we are going to use as a prop.  We have another back-up gun that we can use if needed. We have found some hand cuffs that we can buy for the opening scene.

Dawn of the Apocalypse - Location possibilites

We all went out to look for possible filming locations and we took pictures of each of the possible locations.

 The park is a good location to film, however there may be a problem when filming on saturday or sunday because there might be football players training there.

 These are the opening times for the park which is the first possible location.










This location could be used, it is normally fairly deserted but there is a dual carriageway below this bridge which may cause some unwanted sound to be picked up on the video. However I may be able to edit the sound and remove this noise.
