This mid shot shows an army of hands reaching towards the lead character, the man in the background is holding a gun which suggests he is expecting danger.The characters clothes are all torn and tatty which suggests they are on the run and not taking any pride in their apearance( for obviouse reasons)



This meduium shot shows how desolate the place has become, even the expression on the lead characters face shows the confusion and fright. it shows how quickly humanity has left threw the cars, lamposts etsetera litterd everywhere. Even will smiths stauture on the ground shows metaphorically how man has fallen. The dog may allso suggets how mans best friend will be there to the bitter end

This is a shot of milla johovich in the film resident evil. The shot used is a medium shot, the shot is a contrast. It shows the lead character in a rather feminen dress and a glamour like pose, while she is holding a huge assault rifle and a pistol which shows masculinity and power.

This is a shot from the film 28 weeks later. as you can see the figures are hiden in shadow which suggests mystery and an uneasyness about the shot. The lighting in the shot is used well as it shows clearly were the shot is ( a tunnel) yet still manages to hide the figures runing.

My Aims

As part of my AS Media Studies Coursework, I am going to film and edit my own opening to a thriller movie. This blog is to log my progress.

For my project, I'm going to make a zombie film that packs realism and scares my audience. I plan to research some existing zombie films by analysing certain movie clips and stills. I will then use this analysis to make my own film. I hope to learn more, both about producing films and the films themselves. I will be producing this movie for my coursework, and, fingers crossed, I will hopefully get my desired grade.
