Last week on Wednesday we all delivered our pitch for the life of a teenage zombie, i think it went very well our teachers/class mates seemed very interested and liked the idea of our short film/documentary. On the Friday Sannah ,Phil, Jessica, and I went shooting near Jessica's house in which will be our zombie Jons home in the film, I directed Sannah in taking a variety of shots to setting the scene for Jon area in which we worked very well together in deciding what shots would set the scene well with also input from Phil, we took long shots of the streets, medium/close ups are the street signs, close up of the door number, a variety of nature shots for example out of focus shot of the tree branches then cutting into in focus shots of the branches and houses behind, and also included long shots/medium shots of Jons house.

Over the past week we focused on finding our actor in which we sent emails out to local drama/performing arts schools, and we all had some posters that we gave out in our local areas. In which we have received 2 possible candidates for the role in which we will take into consideration and decide in our production meeting on Friday as we are hoping to meet. Phil and i decided to storyboard some ideas for the script in which we came up with an alternative ending however we all came to agreement that it would be difficult for us all so we all decided to storyboard scene's in which we would all look out and pick out which ones we could visualize on film. over the past weeks i have been looking at a few documented and short films in which i have done a bit of research in what shots, style, content are compulsory in short films /documentary styled that would help me to draw up a storyboard/direct the scene. today Phil brought in a 2 disc DVD collections of short horrors for the group to watch  which was very beneficial. this week we hope to finish the storyboard/script and make final decision in the actor, also me and Jessica decided to film a few scenes for setting the scenes for example houses,streets, the bullring , etc.
