Character Profile - Zombie

Our film opening will include two zombies in which are present throughout most of the scenes. It is important that we do useful research into how our zombies look and act. However, both zombies will have no distinct differences because all zombies act the same. We have found inspiration for make up from many pictures online link the ones shown below:






















We have decided that our zombies will have mainly a grey look for death but also covered in blood to give them a more realistic gory look and to give the impression that they have turned into zombies from recent events. We will also use white coloured contacts to give a deadly look and use liquid latex to create an uneven textured complexion. We then decided that our zombies need to have some kind of mark to indicate that they have been infected by another zombies giving the impression that there is more zombies around. We have found inspiration from a series of images but have agreed on having a bite mark on either their arm, neck or leg like the one below:


The costume of our zombies is very important in making them look as realistic as possible. We have decided that the nurse looking after one of our characters- Rudy, will turn into a zombie therefore we will have to make the nurse gown look dirty and cover it with blood in order to indicate to the audience that she has been infected and now appears as a zombie. The other zombie will wearing a white gown covered in blood and dirtied up because she used to be a patient to try be treated when first infected but has escaped therefore leading to the infected zombie nurse. The gown will look like the one below which indicates shes been away from the hospital for quite a long time:



The way our zombies move is influenced by other films and clips we have seen like the walkers from walking dead. We found that most zombies stare and are reaching out to something just like in the gif shown below:

We also found the way that zombies walk is in a slobish slow way almost like they are struggling to hold their body and limbs up, like the gif shows below:
