Indie Film Suggestions/Ideas/Help...
Oli:
So me and my friends have decided to try and make our own Zombie film.
We've done films in the past (A short 20 minute birthday present for a friend called "Jason Hull: This is your life" which basically was all the funniest parts of his personality exxageration with some penis jokes thrown in and a spoof/horror called death at number 19) and one of us does media development in college so we have the editing side of things covered. We're currently working out the script.
So what I'd like from you talented QC people is ideas for how we could make the film seem more professional for a limited budget.
I'm talking things like:
Make-up ideas, Special effects, How to effectively create suspense, etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. :-)
Once we get it finished (Which could be anytime within the next year or possibly longer) I think we'll post it on video google of youtube and I'll give you guys a link.
:-)

Step 1: Go buy If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B-Movie actor by Bruce Campbell.
This book is indispensible for anyone looking to start in film. Plus....well....he's Ash, and you're making a zombie flick. There's also make-up tips and such in it.
As for the actual movie, make sure you've got a good base script. I know that in horror, writing is overlooked in favour of effects, but trust me, the plot does matter.
Be creative,be inventive, and have fun.
Oli:
Oh we're cocentrating on the script the most. We don't have much money for special effects so we NEED a decent script (and decent acting...:-)) for us to pull it off.
Ill check out that book, thanks.

The old standars like corn syrup,ground up meat, small balloons filled with tomato puree (personal favourite). The Day Of The Dead rpped in half scene and the like are easy as hell to pull off so going over the top on some deaths is well worth the small effort. Good luck.
