zombie that is showing no emotion or remorse
to fit with the horror genre, this zombie has also
just ate a human which is also linked to the
theme of horror. This Zombie has cuts and blood
all over his face which makes it a particularly
disturbing viewing for the reader.

5. Shot 4
The transition in the next shot makes the viewer feel very uncomfortable because
but also sympathy because. The facial expressions on the characters face and the
clear exhaustion and he is frightened because he is being chased by a zombie and
the character in this shot is clearly unfit. This is also a close up on the two figures
because which really immerses the viewer into the shot.

angle of a female which makes her look big
and powerful although she is covered in blood.

clearly concerned and her eyes are also

out to be her looking at a zombie laying on the
ground.
