15th October film

Shaun of the dead and dawn of the dead

Horror films

Dawn of the dead prequel, 

Artefact-script was successful 

Script has good stage directions and descriptions not much dialogue 

The key frames-different angles and shots but 

Textual analysis-Shaun of the dead comparison 

Macro-focus on genre

The narrative of how the characters develop through the film 

Prequel- to show how the zombies disruption

Prequels have to end with the beginning of the next film

Prequel would probably be a resolution scene to set up the next film 

When writing a prequel you are most likely going to use a resolution scene to set up the next films plot and characters. The two films that I have to choose need to have a similarity in the macro area so that they can be easily compared.

Inglorious basterds compared to boy in the striped pyjamas.

The theme of religion and fascism is in both films, as the Jews are discriminated against by the nazis.

The nazi soldier tries to make a deal with the man hiding the Jews to help his family and in the boy in the striped pyjamas we see the nazi soldier with his family and being caring. However in both films we see them being discriminating to the Jews. 

Inglorious basterds is more action based, he makes little jokes to his soldiers making it more realistic

Hypothesis- how do the films show the different characteristics of a nazi?

Twilight vs.stake land 

Dull lighting

A scarier representation of vampires, shows them as the villain

No one smiles in either film 

Horror vs romantic 

Twilight breaks conventions of the horror genre 

Stereotype of a vampire

Sleep in coffins,

Costume,

Can't go in sunlight etc

Masculinity of vampires in stake land compared to the feminine vampire and characters in twilight 

Hypothesis-how do the films break the stereotype and conform to the stereotype of a vampire? 

Twilight has emasculated the stereotype of vampires by the film plot including a 'forbidden love'.Both films also break the stereotype as they do not follow the usual characteristics of a vampire for example, some of the scenes are in daylight. They conform to he stereotype by including vampires who drink blood and can be harmful to humans, this is shown in stake land more, as it is classed in the horror genre and therefore shows more gore.
