student film


Hey I'm a student trying to learn to make a good zombie movie, mostly in a humorous way. If anyone could watch this and offer any constructive criticism, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks for watching it. I agree with what you're saying. The actor improvised that but I should have edited it out.

Improvisation only makes things look natural when it isn't accompanied by terrible overacting. In this case the improv only made the direction seem unfocused. You should try coming up with some good sight gags involving the zombies because your spoken material is not very good. Zombies are always the highlight of any zombie movie and should not be pushed into the background.

The overacting is excusable cos it's funny. I liked the little references at the end to the personal lives of the zombies. And the lift thing. Normalising zombies is the funniest. How'd this go for you since Feb?
