Zombieland Analysis

The opening scene to Zombieland shows us that is going to be a comedy zombie film. We see this by the costumes of the characters as there is a striper chasing a man down the street with nipple tassels on. There is a manor of high key lighting throughout the scene as it is set in pure daylight. We know that this is a zombie film as all the characters show fright on their faces and they are running away from the zombies. There has been a lot of make-up added to the characters to make them look zombiefied and are covered in blood where they have been feasting on other people.

The props that some of the characters are holding weapons such as an AK- 47, a Riot Shield and a tire iron. This is important because it shows us that people are trying to fight back against the virus but are losing miserably. We can see from the clip that it is set in America as the man running from the stripper is holding American dollars and the vehicles are all left-hand drive.

Upon looking at the title i can see that it is red standing for blood and it is an imbedded print meaning that the zombies are taking over the world. We can see from the camera angles the prologue of the film being that there are a lot of wide angles so that we can see EVERYTHING in the shot.

The music of the film is very rocky and mad so this shows us that people in the film could be mad or going insane.
