Movie Season - Clarification

Okay, so off to a slow start as usual. I think it's time I clarified exactly what I'm going to do in this module, hopefully you'll be able to see where I'm coming from if you check my contextual blog. So firstly, I think the tone of this zombie apocalypse season is key to deciding the overall graphic style. I was very much torn between a dead serious approach, and a more lighthearted, comical feel as a lot of the modern zombie hits out there have a comical edge. Upon hearing that about 20% of the class had also picked a horror genre, and a lot of those had picked zombies as an area of focus, I started to think about a different approach... something that would not get lost in the crowd of what is starting to look like a lot of similar animations. So, even after the results of my presentation - where the general consensus was to stay away from a humorous approach - I've decided comedy is the best way to sell this thing.


Visual Material - 
 - newspapers 
 - government files 
 - medical equipment 
 - blood ( use sparingly! ) 
 - weaponry ( keep it lighthearted and comical... eg. A spade )
 - Info Graphics - emergency information - protect and survive cold war booklet.
