The trailer suggests the film is a dark romantic comedy or thriller about a male zombie and human female who become friends. Low-key lighting and a rundown setting in the trailer emphasize the zombie aspect. The pace of the trailer increases tension and builds to when the zombie meets the girl while upbeat music plays, hinting at a potential romance. The target audience seems to be young people based on the actors.

Micro Features -Describekey features and explain what info this gives the audience: Macro Features - Explain whatthe micro elements suggest about:
Mise en scene (e.g. setting, costume, performance, colour,lighting,etc.)
 The setting is rundown and destroyed and the light is mainly low
key lighting, which may help show the audience that the film is
dark and perhaps the lighting emphasises the ‘dead’ as it is dark.
Genre
 romance
 comedy
 thriller
Camerawork (e.g. shot types, angles,movement)
 Straight cuts
Narrative (Whatevents are shown? Are there any conflicts/oppositions? Do you
get a sense of the full film’s beginning-middle-end?)
 The narrative that I get from this is that a male zombie and a
human female become friends, then perhaps leads to more the
friends.
Editing (Montage? Pace? Reaction shots? FX?)
 The pace speeds up throughout the teaser trailer, which can help
to create tension.
Representation (Howare characters,places or events represented?)
 Zombies in general are presented negatively, but aren’t the
worse group of characters.
Sound (e.g. music,dialogue, voiceover, effects)
 Use of voice over from the zombie’s point of view.
 There is upbeat music at around 25 seconds when he meets the
girl, this could show the audience that the film isn’t all dark and
there could be romance brewing.
Audience (Whoisthe targetaudience andhowisthisevident?)
 I feel that the target audience is young people due to the actors
used, and the 2 main actors are young.
