For my investigation. I want to make a series shots of zombie. I’m going to explore what elements zombie movies contain and how to achieve them.
I was inspired by a movie called Contracted. It is a story telling a woman how to transform into a zombie, which is quite different from other zombie movies I have watched. Then I started to think about the features, the similarities of zombie films, and how can I make it different.
I mainly looked at the location, setting, and composition of some zombie movies, and I also found that zombies are different among these movies.
In Dawn of The  Dead, almost the most famous zombie film. There are common zombies, who walk slowly, prey on human flesh.
In Shaun of The Dead, the horror comedy zombie film, zombies can not recognize you if you pretend to be a zombie.
In I Am A Hero, a Japanese zombie film, the zombies’ physique didn’t change and they retained a little memory of themselves.
As to my investigation, I haven’t come up with an idea how I am going to break the zombie rules. Perhaps it may be a normal zombie shots at the end. But at this moment, I think I should focus on the location, setting, and composition, and keep trying, keep experimenting.
I’ve found some places that may suit my shots, and I took some photos.
I am not quite satisfied with them, so I will keep looking for suitable places, analyzing zombie movies, and start shooting during the mid-break.
