Some initial ideas for casting are:
Use a wide, empty space to shoot it, it must have a lamp-post and be deserted. We could possibly use the school south-site car park one evening or week-end, as long as we make sure we don't get anything particularly colourful or nice-looking.
For costumes we need:
At least 3 cowboy hats, (1 for each person, unless we're missing one, in which cast the little guy would be missing one.)
Everyone in faded blue jeans,
Neutral coloured shirts for everyone,
If cowboy boots are available we will use them, if not neutral coloured shoes, boots (even if not cowboy boots) if possible.
Make-up:
Toilet paper and glue can be used to make saggy or tearing skin for zombies.
Everyone including the zombies will have dirty faces and look haggard, but extra grey make-up will be used on the zombies.
I have watched a range of zombie make-up tutorials on you-tube, but this one (Shown in class) shows how to make realistic cut effects: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dW0A4rnnYk
For the stabbing of the zombie we will use ketchup or fake blood, and stick a knife through the shirt from the inside-out, and we will masking-tape it to the actor and his shirt. This will be effective enough, as the knife isn't shown going through the subject, so we can put it in, between shots.
So far we have cast 2 people, the little guy will be played by Livy Hull, and Zombie 1 will be played by Alison Gamble, but we have some ideas for the other 2 cast-members, it's just a matter of convincing them to join us.
