Chart-based results on audience Questionnaire

• From this chart, i can see that most people i asked, were  of a young age group between 15-20 years of age. This shows that my film should be aimed for an age of around 18, but at the same time appealing to many older ages as well.

• From this chart, i can see that the majority of people i asked were female. This shows that i need to make a film to suit both male and female genders. 

• From this chart, i can see that the majority of the audience would prefer to watch a horror-based genre for a film. This is the basis to which i will make my film on.

• From the chart, i can see that the target audience would prefer my zombie film to have a serious aspect to it. This supports the idea that the film is based around a horror genre.

• This chart shows that the majority of people i asked prefer the film name "Dark Departure". From this i know i will use this title name for my film.

• From this chart i can see that more people prefer to buy films when they are released, this shows that producing my film on a mass production could achieve more profit.

• From this chart i can see that more people enjoyed to watch 1-3 films every week.This shows that i need to make my film more worth while to watch. 
• From these different questionnaire results, i can see a variety of ways to create my film. The fact that most of the people asked were young of age and preferred the genre i aimed for. I have realised that i should aim for a more serious approach rather than comedic, with the title name as "Dark Departure".

An Analysis on the opening scene of Diary Of The Dead

 The film begins with a camera crew shooting a murder scene. Within a couple of seconds of starting, death and misery, grief and despair are already introduced to support the genre. The way that it is lighted also supports the horror and ear aspect to the film. The gloomy and dismal lighting may be used to depress the feelings of the viewer, before introducing the fear factor of the film.

 Soon after, the first case of the problem is introduced to not only the audience, but also the characters as well. The misery is built up very quickly, perhaps to startle the audience, preparing them for what is about to come throughout the film.

 This startling effect is also expanded through how the characters, that the viewer has scarcely been introduced to, dies within a few seconds of the outbreak escalating. This shows the spectator that death and destruction will not be foreign throughout the film.

 After the first opening scene, the spectator is shown the global effect of the outbreak, quickly explaining how quickly a crisis such as this, can escalate. It shows that even though the undead cant cause disasters such as fires, humans are making mistakes through the fear caused by the catastrophe

An Analysis on the opening scene of 28 Weeks Later

The setting is in a very dark and dingy cabin, this sets the sense of seriousness and fear, from the coldness that surrounds everyone. The audience can see that everyone is restless from whatever’s going on. However, the use of candles, dotted around the house, creates a sense of safety and comfort, due to the way that candles are warm from the flames. This effects conflicts with the real situation, and is very useful when using against the audience.

This sympathy is also created through some of the character’s facial expressions. Many of them are riddled with misery and melancholy, which expresses the devastation of this particular situation.

A great sense of fortitude and defense is created when the audience realizes that it is actually daytime outside, and that they have completely boarded out all traces of sunlight. It expresses the vulnerability of the characters, as the spectator realizes they are petrified from what is going on.

An Analysis on the intro of Shaun of the Dead (Unfortunately pictures are reversed)

 The film starts off with an introduction of the main character, showing what sort of personality he has, and here the audience can see that he is a very glum and distant person. This could negatively effect his actions later on in the film or perhaps even help them.

 Soon after, we see that the main character is actually in the middle of a conversation with is partner, adding a comedic effect due to how distant from the world he really is. Shot reverse shot is used to show the intensity of the conversation. This shows how the character can be quite laid back and relaxed in important situations.
