(Further Research) Assignment 7 - Zombies: Undead #3 - Zombieland

     I watched the trailer/clips for 'Zombieland'. 

Analysis:

       

       From the trailer and clips, I learnt that:

• Teamwork is an essential part of the film - working together to overcome the invasion of zombies.
• Humor used in the story to ease the tension of the scenes and to make it less mainstream to other zombie/monster films.
• The antagonists become increasingly stronger and become smarter.
• Gender stereotypes are reinforced - stronger, braver characters are men and less brave, victims are women.
• The antagonists usually surround the protagonist/s and make it difficult for them to escape.

Role of gender suggests that men have a role of bravery while women are seen as love interests.

Chases are made more tense by the blood, makeup and effects on the zombies in the central part of the frame.

Women seen as the victims as they can be perceived as weaker, and therefore an easier target.
