28 weeks later camera shots

From the start of the clip there is a close up straight away of one of the zombies chasing our characters, from the close up it shows how scary they actual zombie looks but also giving it the impression that the zombie has a lot of power over the characters. Carrying on in the scene is another close up but of Dom’s wife and by using this close up we are able to see the amount of desperation she has as she screams for dom but the added affect is that the edit is slow down for more dramatic affect.  Then following up from that is a close up of dom’s face and the affect of this is powerful as he hast to make a decision to help his wife and having higher risk to escape or save himself where it is much more certain he would be able to carry on with his life but yet again the also have a slow mo edited with in that shot which helps show the destperation but also helps show the actual movement the zombies have compared to the charaters in the film.
 In the next chains of events within the scene there is a medium shot of dom shutting the door on his wife and he runs to escape, this shot shows what his true decision and makes the scene so powerful as it shows the desperation for what they both have.

As the clips move on the camera angles are much different from being close to being medium shots to long shots as there is a long shot from a low angle where he falls from the roof the shot is affective due to the fact it shows how much dom is struggling to both cope with is choice and trying to escape at the same time. But this leads to a transition to the next camera shot, which is an extreme long shot from a high angle the affect of this shot shows the dominance of the zombies around him as in the shot it shows that there are a lot chasing him as he runs for his life. But just before that shot was an amazing shot that was a medium into long shot that was similar to a point of view shot as it showed that dom looked back at his wife calling for him at the window and it slowly zoomed out as she was attacked and dragged away into the darkness not to be seen, the affect of this shot helps the viewer feel tension as it makes you wonder how he is feeling seeing his wife as she is dragged into dark ness. The next shot following that is an over the shoulder shot of a zombie as it runs after dom, it shows how intimidating the creatures are by showing there movement when they are chasing after their food. Next shot makes you feel like your running along dom but as if you were looking at him as well it is a medium shot from the side of him, it also has a smart unfocused sighting of the zombies chasing him making you realize if you were with him how many are there what do they look like ect. During the final part is a series of close ups as two characters try to get a boat going but one doesn’t make it dom successfully makes it on the boat but by the use of the close ups of him and whats happen around him with a friend dying and being chased by maybe 50 zombies shows what his emotions are at this point it shows he’s panicking as he looks distressed but he also looks angry due to his past.
