Tips from past Producers

Take time to discuss the impact of the Emergency Broadcast announcements. They reveal just how dire the circumstances are and help establish the constant threat of imminent danger. Consider how that tension can be conveyed through movement, lighting, and sound design. Think about how to use your zombies to make the experience even more thrilling, suspenseful, and possibly immersive for the audience. Also, look for moments of humour and use them to lift the audience up just before the story takes a darker turn.
