your average woman in need of saving |
In our film we have two types of people, we have one female and we have one male. Both are important and link together. And yet are both not how males and female are usually portrayed in your average zombie comedy movies.
The Female...
The male...

your average, cowardly hero. |
The male is one of your average boys, he is all brains but has no courage. So he is one of your cowardly hero's. The one hero who doesn't really know what on earth he is doing but will try his best, even if it means getting himself almost killed numerous times. We did this through the persons personalty and through what he wears. He wear a black jacket and black sunglasses, even though he is in doors and its not even sunny outside. So he is trying to be col and sexy, because he is going to see the female that was on the screen earlier on in the opening. When he notices his friend outside his house he is curious but knows something is wrong, when we see that he realized she is dead and walking around. All that courage and confidence rolls right out the window. You could say he is like an average hero in a zombie movie, he has little knowing of self-defense but learns quickly how to use weapon and how to kill the un-dead. The character does grab a weapon for self defense. But when he knows thing are going down hill, he hides and doesn't try to defend himself off. By the time he hides, all the un-dead break in and bang on the door, knowing that he is in there. So you could also way that he is stupid and cowardly, when his fear rolled in deep. With camera shots we have many ones of him, we have close ups of his face on numerous occasions, nine out of ten times there are expressions of fear on his face as he realizes things are bad for him. We get many different types of shots with him because he is being normal, he is your average person but dealing with a big problem, so we needed to be doing all these different type of camera shots to try and get across the chaos of what is going through his head at the point in time.
