CB-Technical Analysis

Shot 1 00.00-01.00
The first shot is an establishing long shot of trees with blue sky behind it; this along with birds is representing calmness and peace.







Shot 2
The black background with red ‘blood like’ title of universal pictures represents a different side of the title sequence, it is also made clear that it a universal pictures film.









Shot 3
A close-up of a male screaming, with very evident red blood with a pale face suggest problems and corruption, it also suggests to the audience that it could perhaps be an infection.








Shot 4
The extreme close-up of a mouth shows the grusome infection that is spreading. Also the quick cutting rate then portrays other disturbing images, with the red blood being evident.









Shot 5
The title of ‘Dawn of the Dead’ again in bold, blood like writing suggests corruption and death.









Shot 6
Shot 6 is a low angle medium shot of what appears to be a soldier with a gas mask on suggesting further corruption and the start of the narrative that people are fighting back. Also it implies that it is a world issue, as the army become involved.








Shot 7/8/9/10
The next shots are of a very quick cutting rate, again conveying shocking close-up images representing blood and infection through ‘zombies’. Again these shots are mixed in with ‘bloodlike’ titles which are a good contrast to the opening sequence.


























Shot 11
An 'over the shoulder ' medium shot shows a TV news programme, which is representing the realism in the film, how it is a world epidemic, also it can relate to the audience very strongly as it is one everday news which occurs around the world daily.








Shot 12
A video showing 'amateur footage', this represents the realism of the epidemic and how it affects everyone. It is a long shot showing corruption, panic and fear amogst the public on the streets.

  1. Calum, this is visually very good, however this is supposed to be technical so must include camera distance, movement and angle
