World War Z-Hollywood

World War Z

The genre is communicated very quickly right from the start, we see the title sequence, the font for which is large and pans slowly towards the camera. The colour is blood red with a completely black background. Once introduced to the story, jump scares also begin with the action scenes, for example as the police man talks to Brad Pritt through the window of the car, we are surprised by the police mans death when a truck suddenly rolls by, crushing him. The music through out the title scene is also very tense, and this builds up through out, with great suspense.

The production for this movie is Hollywood. This is because of the stars involved, for example Brad Pitt, the amount of money involved, to pay for the technology, amount of actors, and sets, the technology used also relates to the context Hollywood, because the more developed the country, the better its CGI, and other computer technology would be. The fact that this movie begins in America, is also part of the context: Hollywood.

Brad Pitt stars as the main character, as he is a very popular actor from Hollywood, more people who like his acting skill will want to go see the movie. He has a large audience of followers, so more people will want to watch the movie. More people can also recognize themselves with a more familiar actor. Because of his great acting skill he also plays the part perfectly.

This movie uses CGI to create the zombies in the movie, the quality i to a very high standard, because of the production value, and the context of the production. When compared to other movie's for example a British context movie, the quality of the technology is not as great because there is less money involved.  For example this scene from Severance, a British context film, uses a CGI moment, but it looks less real than the zombies in World War Z.

The Mis en scene for World War Z, uses connotation to create the effect that Brad Pitt is acting as savior to the world, and will deliver it from evil. They compare him to Jesus through imagery such as the scene in which he say's: "were going to Jerusalem", and as he says this he steps into the light, and a halo forms around him and his Jesus like attire.
