Camerawork

To fulfill the conventions shown in other horror/zombie films just like in every media product there has to be a variety of shots for maximum effect. We used a variety of shots to fulfil these conventions, and some of the shots are:

Close up: It is used commonly to show a character's reaction to what is happening in the story at the time. Also it can be used for a close up on the zombie's face, and if used effectively with an appropriate score, it can create a frightening effect upon the audience.


Medium Close Up: Commonly used to show a reaction of a character again, but the reaction isn't focused on as much. It can also used to display the body language of a character.



Over the Shoulder: Most often used to show dialogue between characters. It can also be used to show a reaction of one character to what is behind the other character.



Screen Composition: Again used to show the reaction characters, but effective to show both reactions at the same time.
