Iphone Zombie Case Study

iPhone Film-making: Zombie Case Study

IPhone Film-making: Zombie Case Study:

Our friend Sam O'Sullivan drew our attention to his new short film, Zombie Case Study, shot entirely on an iPhone.

The source of this text is from the website “fruitless pursuit”. It is a website where case studies of new films can be found. The key points of this text is that the film is shot entirely on an iPhone, also, that the film expresses the ways that you can explore the object of film making from the simplest of things. I think that the one quote that stands out to me is “Sam’s film illustrates really innovative ways of working with the phones advantages and exploiting its limits”. My opinion of this is that I was very surprised and impressed that the whole film was shot on an iPhone. I think that it really shows what can be done on something so simple. 

Plus Sam's film has crowd pleasing/consuming zombies, so if you want to see two young Australian men dealing with a zombie situation in a way that only young Australian men can then check this out:
