Dawn Of The Dead (2004) Image Analysis 2


This over the shoulder shot allows us as an audience to watch the body horror that is taking place. This is the first time we properly see the results of the bite and the reactions that take place afterwards.  It is also the first time we see a gory fight for survival and an inner bravery from a young blonde girl (going against our typical female victim) I thought this shot was interesting to analyse as it helps us sympathise with these characters as we start to get the impression no matter where they are or what they do they can never escape this dreadful situation. Within this scene there is a lot of parallel music that makes us jump and terrified of the actions that occur. It also uses collision cutting and uses a slow build up to create tension that then progresses into a fast pace when the attacking begins. From this zombie the characters start to get an understanding that the bites make the people turn this way, and therefore it leads to many people having to sacrifice themselves so that they don’t turn into one.
