Although we know that the actor is not looking at the screen we feel that it does not matter as it is going to be shown in the corner of the room on a TV, so wouldn,t be as noticeable.

Character Descriptions
Character descriptions
There are only four characters that play an important role in this introduction to our Zombie film. They are (in order of appearance) the boy, the news reporter, the dead corpse and finally the zombie.
The News Reporter
The news reporter is seen as being a typical news reporter; smart, serious and nicely spoken. He plays an important part in setting the scene for the rest of the film, due to the fact that he is giving all of the information needed to understand the rest of the clip. Because of this, she needs to have a big impact on the audience so that they are paying attention to her, and therefore like I just said, understand the rest of the film. As she is speaking, she is very serious. This puts across the seriousness of the news report that she is getting across.
The Boy
The boy has a loving and warm personality, whilst not really being able to show this in the short time we have, hopefully his "simple" clothes will show that he isn't a crazy and outgoing person, but someone you can easily warm to. This is important so he comes across as being weak, and also vulnerable.
The Dead Corpse
The dead corpse is simple, emotionless and with guts coming out of her body. That's all.
The Zombie
Finally, the Zombie will have to be as scary as possible. Therefore he is quick on his feet, blood all around his face and shirt and is not afraid of death. Even though the Zombie will hopefully be scary, to add a sence of a typical Zombie film, he will be quite stupid too. This adds a sence of comedy to the film too.
If we had a Hollywood Budget, we would firstly use Jesse Eisenberg, this is because he is a fairly young actor and has been in the movie ZombieLand which is similar to our film. Another character that could be the girl in the film could be Megan Fox as she has acted in a variety of films and would attract the male audience to watch the film.

Locations list
For the start of our clip we need a ordinary living room, we will try to make this dark and dingy so it creates tension and a dark atmosphere to suit the genre of the film,to do this curtains could be used to darken the room. for the main section we will need a basement as it is dark and dingy, and we can use artificial lighting to light the room. if this is not a possibility then we will have to use another location such as a house instead, and place the zombie/s somewher else such as a loft where it is also dark and still could have the same effect or outside.To show the area is deserted we can film clips of empty streets and maybe an abandoned car, this can be done anywhere.
