Task 2 – Research

I will be looking at different horror directors to see how they film their movies. Some films I will be looking at is Zombie land, Bad taste, 28 days later and Shaun of the dead. I don’t know if I will make it a horror or a horror/comedy which is why I’m going to be looking at different styles of the same genre.

Most original zombie movies have a sub-genre. This makes it easier for them to stand out. If a film doesn’t have a purpose other than a bunch of zombies and humans killing each other, it can quickly become tiresome.

Having a genre sets the tone and atmosphere of the film so that the audience takes away from the film what the screenwriter intended.
