Our film was set within the zombie genre, so to convey this we used horror iconography, For example the zombie and his makeup as well as other horror coneventions we found out through research. Inparticular the film
Zombieland used plenty of makeup and especially gore based effects. Our costumes for the two actors were stereotypical of their age and gender
Other parts of iconography from within the horror genre was a fight scene, Our fight scene was between the Zombie and lead actor
Steve, fight scenes are extremely common inside the horror genre as they add tension and offer more reasons to add extra gore. Not only does it fortify the other conventions it engages the audience as they fear for the protaganists survival.
We established our plot through strong foreshadowing as displayed in our news scene which utilised a green screen as well as some of Final cut's editing functionanlity.
Within our title sequence we used forms of typography to create a theme of destruction within the film. The font used was white, block capitals and appears to be damaged and worn. This holds connotations of destruction therefore conveying to the audience that the film features ruin and havoc- fitting with the post-apocalyptic horror genre.
