Costumes and Makeup

• Zombies would have fake blood around their mouths; wearing ripped/tarnished clothing, with blood also smeared on their clothing• Zombies would have pale skin; so white

makeup/foundation would be used for the people who play the zombies• Normal characters will wear modern

clothing; 21st century clothes

Iconography• Gory and gruesome• Someone gets bitten and turns into a zombie• Characters try to find a cure/way to kill them zombies forever; e.g.

stabbing zombies in the brain or shooting them in the head• Using liquid latex and gelatin to create the scar and blood mise-en-scene element here is really important; give the implication that

they’ve been through a lot of pain yet they’re still alive, to show the resilience that the characters would typically have.
