Individual evaluation 2

I feel that our media product represents and meets the social group of teenagers as it is a horror/thriller film which attracts teenagers more than any other type of social group, because they would understand what would be going on and it will give them either a buzz, scare them or creep them out as it is the type of genre. Also by having the actors the same age as teenagers it would relate more to them as it would be in their age range.
We put the '3 weeks later...' bit at the end so that people would want to know what was goingt to happen in the rest of the film and so it would engage the audience and would attract a wider range of people. This is aimed more towards teenagers who have an interest in 'horror/thriller' films. It is also attracted by people who want to see what it is about as the name is catchy and it will stand out more to the audience.



On the left is Reece as a zombie/killer we made the film dark and merky so it made it seem more creepy and on the right is a zombie from the film 'Zombieland' the colour is more bright and colourful to show how red the blood is on his face.

For our film we decided to not have blood dripping from every were because we didn't have the right equipment and also we wanted to show how the start of the transition to becoming a zombie was like. 
Whereas on the 'Zombieland' zombie you can clearly see that he is a zombie with all the blood dripping from him on his face and his hands. 


The way Reece dressed as a zombie didn't make it seem like he was a zombie more like a stalker/killer; he was dressed in all dark colours to blend in with the trees and the background and also to make it so that he looks scary and creepy. 
However, on the 'Zombieland' zombie he is wearing bright and colourful clothes to show that he was once a normal person probably on holiday and now he is a scary zombie monster.  This zombie contrasts to our zombie because this zombie is in full stage of being a monster as you can see by all off the blood around his face.


Reece looks as if he is neat and clean whereas the other zombie doesn't care and looks like a complete mess, this shows that Reece is not in the stage of being a mental, crazed zombie and he still hasn't eaten anyone yet or he still has a little bit of his mind left, the other zombie doesn't have any control over what he is doing and he obviously has been eating other people as you can see by the amount of blood that is on him.


Reece's role in the film was to be the main zombie/killer so you would see him throughout the whole film killing people and making more people turn into zombies until the whole world was infected. You don't know this until after the opening but as we were just filming an opening we didn't get to show this.
But in 'Zombieland' this zombie only appears once in the film as a random zombie to show that there is an outbreak of zombies running around, his part is a minor one whereas Reece's part was a bit one as he is one of the main characters. 


Both of these zombies have many differences but only a few similarities like they are both supposed to be zombies and they are both running after someone and both want the same thing 'to feed on flesh'.
