The first thing that jumped out at me was the quality of the sound, so I checked the video description to see if I could find what mic you used and I see this won an award for best sound. See, I know what I'm talking about, I'm like Simon Cowell! Sorry, hang on, this isn't about me, it's about your good sound isn't it! Haha, well done on the sound! What mic by the way?
@1simonmatthews I used the on-board camera mic. But the camera is a good one, a Sony PD150. I could also plug in an extension lead to the mic for some shots to get the mic close whilst the cam was far away. Also some shots were deliberatley close up for the sound. The award was also given for the subtle sound effects, and use of music.
This has got a lot of potential! It's no where near perfection, but it's way better than all the crappy so-called "zombie" videos on YouTube. I can't believe this only has a little over 600 views.
@Calvertfilm yes it does youve made one without noticing it has a story the guy making a movie the plot to kill the girl of on film an a twist when he kills him at the end
@TheBlakeBrownshow I see what you mean but really I would have made a more unusual twist normally. The reason for this relatively simple one is that on the DVD version it stops at the end, and the viewer has a choice of 3 endings. So I didn't want them too complicated. This is ending B. In ending A the girl gets killed and the boy just laughs maniacally - he wins. In funny ending C the filming stops and cast & crews break for tea so you never know what happens.
Is this the only place its been posted? Hope it gets more views/comments in the future. I did enjoy it, till the comedy part, with the typical British parody music (as The Simpsons liked to call it), thought you could have played it off as a slightly more 'serious' horror film. A good effort regardless, I'd love to make short films, if I had some actors... :( (but I got a HD camera! :P )
@huckool I had no actors either at first, until I advertised in my local paper. So I guess you could do that, and take it from there. Thanks for your comments.
Wowee!!! Really good work here... sorta wished I'd been able to reply to the ad in the recorder! Ah well, well done to Jake on his excellent Zombie acting.
And well done to you all - brilliant movie! A great mix of humour and creepiness! Look forward to more work from you in the future!
This is possibly the most ridiculous trailer i have ever seen. That being said, the girl in the pink jeans has a lovely bum and a lovely personality which makes the trailer bearable.

@15379cruellesthunter That's good, as this was meant to show the character couldn't act.
