0100 Planning

Shot 0100 is one of the first shots that we came up with. It's meant to be a long, drawn out shot in which the zombie has just entered the lift. But instead of it being a chaotic affair it's just incredibly awkward, as the intern does his best to ignore the zombie and just hope that he eventually goes away! I really liked the idea and I think it's gonna be a really cool shot. It is however quite long and is the first one with both characters in the same shot so it is quite an important shot as the on screen relationship between the two has to work properly and both their poses have to work in harmony with eachother. Below is the blocked version of my first attempt:



This has all the movements I'm after planned out, with a stronger look at timing than anything else really. I added in the step away late into the process which meant replacing some other keys and reworking the characters in the space but I think it worked and adds a bit more character to the intern in a shot where he is mostly stationary as he is too frightened to look directly at the zombie.

The initial pose works quite well in attracting attention to the face, and the lines lead there fairly well.

I tried to work a nice arc into the interns movements when he snaps upwards ito his stiff/board-like position. The firstpose was very open but because of the angle it seems a little more closed off than it actually is, so I wanted to really open his body up so that when he snaps into his final pose (which has his hands by his side) it sems like more of a contrast, which is what I have done above.

The intern is in his final position above, while the zombie is driving forward lunging into the lift. The curves in the zombies left arm and back help to keep him slightly hunched over but his right arm is opposing to these curves which makes it act as the driving force of the lunge and I think it makes for a fairly strong pose.

The is a good representation of the majority of the scenes content. The intern is completely up right, but because the intern is so hunched over is makes a much more interesting screen relationship between the two that actually compliments the interns' face which is what I would like it to do so it's working pretty well so far.
