Shaun is portrayed as an average, ordinary, immature man. In the begin of the film the audience immediately know how docile he is due to him being totally oblivious of the Zombie outbreak whilst walking the streets in the morning. However, when the Zombie apocalypse arrives he is takes the lead role among his family and friends, becoming the dominant man he needs to be. Throughout the film a hero is born within Shaun as he matures and makes it his destiny to save his mum, girlfriend and friends as they are his main priority. He decides becoming the hero will help him win his girlfriend back.
Similarities
Shaun and our main character, Rudy, share similar aspects throughout our film. Rudy is also oblivious of the zombie apocalypse like Shaun, but only due to him being in a coma. Rudy will also be portrayed as an ordinary character in our film. However, when the apocalypse outbreaks he will step up to be a fearless, superior man who always makes reasonable choices in a broken world. Furthermore, like Shaun, Rudy's prioritizes his loved ones in the outbreak and aims to save them. Despite him not knowing where they are he sets out to find them and does not rest until he does.

Gerry - World War Z
Gerry is portrayed as a god-like hero throughout World War Z. He has the overall screen time and is the main focus of the film. Furthermore, Gerry is a man who is very family orientated and would do anything to protect his wife and kids. Therefore, he takes giant risks to try find a cure for the zombie apocalypse and comes to many close encounters with large groups of zombies. He even injects himself with a chemical which may be fatal, just to see if it may possibly make him immune from the contact of zombies.Similarities
Gerry has stereotypical aspects of a main character in a zombie-horror film, such as; he is seen as a hero and takes charge of many situations, dominating them. We see this as a similar aspect to our main character Rudy as although he is firstly oblivious to what has been going on whilst he has been in a coma, he straight away takes charge of the situation and uses his common sense to think of quick, efficient survival techniques in which he can use to find safety. Also, when he joins a group of people, despite them being from the army, he is eventually seen as the leader even though they have a higher authority over him.
