Zombieland Trailer

In the beginning of the Zombieland trailer it shows us the three main characters one older more experienced man and two younger students Columbus and Wichita. The camera rises from Tallahassee’s feet to his head where he confidently holds a gun this instantly shows his experience. Next the camera focuses on the main young character Columbus where it focuses straight onto his facial expression where he is very nervy shaking whilst holding his gun this emphasises younger peoples less confident nature compared to a more grown up “manly figure”. Lastly at 0.48 the camera is focused on the last character Wichita where once again there is little movement in the camera focuses on her facial expression this is more of a lost and intimidated look as she is unarmed.  The editing throughout the film is focused on comedy such as “kill of the week” this is to appeal to young people. Teenagers throughout the film are represented a lot differently than other films such as Project X for example at 1.23 in the trailer it shows Columbus throw his drink out of the window but keep a straight face so he doesn't look to be sensible. The older character Tallahassee is shown to be the reckless one drinking and shooting zombies not to survive but for fun. At 1.42 the trailer shows romance between teenagers this is typical of teenagers falling in love.

The film is set in Texas and he is trying to get home to his parents in Ohio, he survives by following 30 rules from the more experienced older man this shows how teenagers like to learn and how much they appreciate their families but they may not show it all the time. The clothing that the teenagers are wearing are unusually smart but this may be because they were at school and they didn't realise what they were getting themselves into. The music in the trailer is very fast paced this is because it symbolises the fast paced nature of teenagers life’s. This is also the genre of music teenagers very much like and listen to at parties and other events. The dialect of the young people throughout the film has a very strong accent and use a lot of slang words.
