Cinematography Project

These are screenshots from my cinematography project. We wanted to have it in black and white to fit with the era of the films setting.

Basically the story is set during World War 2 with a German Officer alone in a bunker. He spies a dead body on the beach near to his location and goes to check it out. He finds the body (who is a female gypsy) with an amulet in her hand which he takes. As he walks off the gypsy is shown to actually be alive and gets up off the floor. When he arrives back at his bunker the Officer is ambushed by zombies, and so runs back to the beach, with the undead in pursuit. He turns and fires his gun at the zombies, which proves to have no effect and he is eventually overran and killed. The final shot then shows his hand holding the amulet to the sky.

I was cast as one of the zombies in my group film project (which was really fun!). And as I am post-production, my role was to edit and put the footage we had filmed together, as well as add effects (which is yet to be done) and composite it. The effects won't be much, just some blood splatters and the like.

We filmed at Pendennis Castle as it has WW2 bunkers and artillery, which we thought would be perfect for our film. They were very happy for us to film there, and even let us go in for free!
