Construction

I developed production company names based on which type of companies I thought would contribute to producing a horror/apocalypse film. I used the same techniques as I had planned from the very beginning with the paper burning

I had practised this opening sequence back in January

However this time chose to edit it with a tint and so that the burning is in reverse - therefore revealing the company name rather than destroying it.

 and the rooftop scene, which I had found on a 'location hunt' before filming

FreeSound.org provided me with all of the sounds in the video. I had always planned on having a radio/television presenter-type voiceover in my film which, and I was planning on using recording my own, however I was lucky enough to find a very good voice over on freesound, which was high quality and very well scripted, talking about the symptoms of the zombie infection. This saved me a lot of time and was perhaps produced to a higher quality than I would have been able, since the recording equipment I had available to me was limited.

A heavy rock/metal song on the opening titles of films for apocalyptic films are very common, and so I used 

to find a metal song which I thought fitted well with the filming. After much searching I did come across a free, unsigned and downloadable song called 'This Night' by 'Dark Dreams'. Combined with the radio voiceover at the beginning, I found these to combine very effectively. Although time consuming to find a good match, I felt that this song worked well with the film.

The make up worked better than was expected. With help from tutorial videos on Youtube and a few hours spent preparing all of the zombies, the end result was to a high standard. All of the paints and liquid latex recommended was used, and resulted in some lovely zombie-like wounds.
