3. We were really inspired by
Name

Sequence
What inspired me/ what I liked
1 Gelsomina
- The Walking Dead
Series
- Warm Bodies
- World War Z
In world war z, the zombies are a new form of zombies as they can run really
fast which inspired me. In The Walking Dead Series, I like how the character
is unaware of what is happening but survives. In Warm Bodies, I like how
they created the zombies to be able to speak.
2 Kelly
- Shaun of the dead
I was inspired by the use of high key lighting as it challenges the
general convention of darkness being situated with horrors
3 Chelsea
-Zombie Land
-The crazies
4 Tayla
-Dawn of the Dead
-Resident Evil
In Zombieland, the pace is a mixture between fast and slow, The faster paced
scenes tend to involve large groups of people. There is a lot of destruction
and abandonment and the use of a fairground was very unique.
In the crazies the lighting is very dull showing misery, there is a lot of blood
and gore show that they are unwell and dangerous to humanity. They are
willing to cause harm to loved ones also, which show they are not in control
In Dawn of the Dead the use of montage editing, fast pace, extreme
microphotography and the extreme use of blood I felt was inspirational and
fit the general stereotypes used in Horror’s yet used to the extreme where it
was not cliché.
In Resident Evil through the girls state in changing the use of flashbacks
conveys that the girl has been bitten and she is infected. It is clear from the
beginning what they are trying to portray.
4. Our first main idea was:
• Boy takes Girl to a dead body
• His intention was to scare her
• He gets killed (in the dark so the girl doesn’t know
who killed him)- enigma
• She begins to scream
• Ends in a aerial shot of the girl in turmoil and is left
alone
