Trailer begins with UNIVERSAL clip.

First shot – high angle shot of feet stumbling into room – puts into the viewers head that this is a zombie from the way the person is walking.

The camera tilts upwards to reveal character ‘Shaun’ yawning – showing he’s not a zombie but tired man – this is accompanied by the sound of a yawn. The next few quick shots are accompanied by fast pace music representing every day routine – toilet flushing and tooth brushing – all being extreme close ups.

Introduction to character – close up.

Over the shoulder shot – showing characters back and face in mirror with narration ‘Do you ever think modern life I not for you’ – reference to life, could be suggesting something to do with zombies.

Another series of quick cuts – extreme close ups of more routine activities – tea making + jam on toast with the diegetic sound that comes with making these things.

Continued narration ‘same dead end job’ still with perky, juxtaposing, non-diegetic music.

All cuts – simple/quick straight cuts – lots of short little shots.Humour in dialogue and action – he gives her flowers, she says ‘to mum’ and doesn’t look impressed.

Medium close up of Shaun looing upset after being kicked out.

Continued dialogue throughout on ways of killing zombies and introducing the storyline.

Humour incorporated – rather then making the effort to kill the zombies – they have time to stop and take a photo.

Loud noises and screaming throughout – helping to enhance the atmosphere of chaos and panic.

Increase rate in music –shorter shots and quicker cuts for a sequence of ‘zombie killing’ to show a lot of action occurring.

Group shot – high angle looking down on swarm of zombies reaching out making it more intense. All quite dull and pale – contacts use to create zombie eyes.

Mid close up of eye-level group shot, end of gun pointed at camera – creating sense of danger.

‘Courage has a new name’ – white cracked and distressed font on a black background. After this you hear the shouting of ‘Shaun’ so this statement refers to him.

Film title continued in the style how all the previous text has been displayed – very consistent.

Nicely framed shot – mid close up – zombie in the background – characters sing whilst zombie groans behind them – very relaxed, reinforcing comedy.

Very dark setting, helping mix the horror and comedy.

Informs audience of the genre at the very end – texts zooms into the centre of the screen.
