The films that I am focusing on

film studies

The films I am focusing on are the genre of zombie films, the reason why I choose this genre because  I think it is an area which i could go into a lot of depth on as I like them and are my favorite type of films because of the humor of it and the violence which both blend well together to create 'zom-coms'. Although, i have only chosen two 'zom-coms' of 'Shaun of The Dead' and 'Zombie Land' and the zombie horror of 'Dawn of The Dead' which is a re-make of the 1978 'Dawn of The Dead' which in some ways when I was watching this film before researching on it, I thought that it was a 'zom-com' because of some comic sides of the movie, but also paranoying to watch because of the quick escapes. By already judging the film that it was a comedy as well as a horror, I interpreted this from some of the scenes, such as when dawn came and the parents woke up to a zombie daughter silhouette at the door, and then came closer to see that she was covered in blood, then lois (parent) goes to help her, and the close up shot looking as to be affection of father and daughter, suddenly gets a shock when he gets a chunk of his neck bitten off, which I thought was comic, which is why I first chose this film because I thought it fitted into my genre of 'zom-coms'.
