Our film genre is one of a zombie apocalypse, i'm going to research into this genre and find out what is to expect from the zombie genre in a film. Also into the background of the genre. This will give us many ideas of how to portray the mood and actions of our characters in our movie. Zombie's also tend to feature under the Horror and fantasy genre.
Zombie's
Zombies are fictional creatures, commonly acted as though they are mindless, reanimated human corpses with a hunger for the flesh of living humans. The popularity of zombies has sometimes led to them been taken out of their usual element of horror and thrown into other genres, for example 'Shaun Of The Dead'. The 'Zombie Apocalypse' concept, in which the civilised world is brought low by a global zombie infestation, has become that of modern art. The Name Zombie
How the creatures became to be called zombies is unclear. One of the first so called 'Zombie' films, 'Night Of The Living Dead' made no reference to the word 'Zombie' at all. They were described as ghouls. The word zombie was first used in Romero's 1978, 'Dawn Of The Dead', although only used once in dialog. The characteristics of which our zombies should undertake is like a stumbling action when walking, as obviously this shows they do not have full control, and obviously not 'alive' technically. The zombie above and to the right is similar to how we want our zombie to act, he is stood at an angle and slouching.
