Costumes and Makeup

YAY! Sexism

Unfortunately, being this macho does come with a price. For example; I can't multi-task, I can't walk in a straight line, and I know nothing of make-up or clothing. Therefore, the acquisition of clothing was largely down to the female member of our group as she either knew where to get suitable clothing or already had it (What? I have a fez that we could use. What's that? Not very Post-Apocalypticy? Well then.). As she was largely in charge of how the actors looked, it was reasonable that she be in charge of make up too. However, I tried out some manly make-up techniques myself which are at the bottom of the page.

Costumes

This is one of the costumes we plan to use when we film. The leather jacket connotes images of hard, rugged wearers, just how we would want one of our survivors to be.

This is the same type of nightgown that Tom has and will wear as the Radio Host. We hope that this gown conveys a certain level of insanity for the Radio Host. This image courtesy of Google Images.

We also have blooded T-shirts for the zombie and girl zombie to wear. These generally just further show them to be 'infected' and zombieish (lets pretend that's a word). We have no images of these so you'll just have to wait and see.

Other elements of the costumes, such as boots we are relying on actors for, all boots, including walking boots, Wellington boots etc. look pretty hardcore, so we request that our actors come in them, the setting is rather muddy anyway.

Make-Up

My fellow team member Charlotte has done quite a good post on make up HERE, never the less, I did some research into this myself.

Here are some research videos on Make-Up:
