ZOMBIE FINAL LOOK 

Grey zip up hoodie

left open to show white shirt with blood stain

Baggy blue jeans

Shaun of the Dead zombies look as if they are fitted normally as if they are normal humans

Black socks

We didn't want any false representations with white or coloured socks

White hands

Had to match with the colour of the rest of the body

White connotes a dead look

White base layer of face + lips

White connotes a dead look

Red directly under eyes

Zombie looks tired (matching with the way he walks and the way he moans)

Lighter/dusty hair

We put flour (as an emergency replacement of falcon powder) in the zombie's hair

Possible hint that he has 'risen from the ground'

Scar through eye and on neck

Fake cuts add to the dead and beaten up look

Contact lens in one eye

makes the cut look like it did damage

UPDATE

26/01/2020 was set to be our first filming day, however unfortunately a cast member fell ill just before filming, therefore we couldn't film. We have now arranged to meet on 02/02/2020 to have our first filming.

ZOMBIE LOOK

Despite not filming on this date, myself and Scope Productions met up to practice the zombie makeup once more. It worked relatively well, as the zombie look is a lot more complete than the last time we practised it. Here is a comparison between the two zombie looks we have done so far.

One the left, we have a look that we went or a few weeks ago. It is a lot more simpler and significantly less convincing. On the right, we have the look we practised this Sunday. Here are things we preferred about the more recent one:

• The scar is more convincing (and it looks good going through the eye - will work very well with contact lense)
• Bruising around the scar
• The makeup goes down to the neck
• lip looks swollen because of the blood

Here are some things we want to improve on for our final zombie look:

• The blood around the mouth is too bright
• There are white areas around the scarring
• The general colour needs to be more pale (too red/purple)

We still need to practise:

• Fitting the makeup with the hair
• Dressing the zombie with the makeup
• practising with liquid latex

Here is a video of us completing the face of makeup on the 26/01/2020....

This video is a practice attempt at creating the zombie look (done by Spikey films and Scope productions)



What went well:

• The scar (looks realistic)
• The bruising around the scar
• The colouring of the face

What we need to improve:

• The face needs some more blue and purple
• The use of liquid latex
• The hair (should add falcon powder to show dead look)
• The eyebrows (need to be covered)
