Awaiting Sanctuary
My aim for this project was to create a found footage zombie film shot entirely on a mobile. I chose to make it a found footage film to bring something new to the zombie genre. Shooting the film on a phone allowed me to deviate from traditional found footage films that are usually shot like a documentary. Instead I embraced the new way we are all communicating now through video calls as well as taking advantage of making a film about a virus whilst in a pandemic through limiting props, locations and actors to small scale. The film allowed me to utilise horror codes and conventions creating a depressing and oppressive tone whilst exploring new technology.
