The document discusses how a male teacher character is represented in a film. It notes that while the teacher's face is not shown initially, his costume of wearing a suit at a classroom table suggests he is a teacher. He is portrayed as a typical family man and breadwinner who talks about missing his family. This establishes him as a conventional male character who is also the hero as the only school survivor. The character was chosen to appeal to the young audience as someone they could relate to as a teacher in a zombie situation. Overall, the character decisions were felt to create the desired effect.

3. SOCIAL GROUP
Social Group
Since zombies cant be classified under a social group ill look at
the groups that are interested in them.
It is very hard to find a social group that likes zombies because
in them there is something for everyone to like. Zombie movies
are definitely for both male and females and all races. Also
there is a wide range of age in the people who enjoy zombie
movies or shows from children to older people of maybe 50+
years of age. I think the main reason why zombies appeal to so
many people is because if there really was a zombie infestation
any one could become one.

5. OUR ZOMBIES V.
‘WALKING DEAD’ ZOMBIES
Our Zombies v. ‘Walking Dead’ Zombies
While creating our zombies I wanted to go for something more
classical so we chose the slow moving noisy zombies. However
we wanted a modern twist on them too so I took inspiration for
the costumes from the show Walking Dead as the make up is
amazing and they also have the more classical zombies. Both
our and their zombies have lots of open wounds, messy hair and
ripped clothes. Both walk slowly and are falling all over the
place and both only make strange sounds.
So over all I'm very happy with how they turned out even
thought they are very stereotypical zombies.
