2. Deadheads is a 2011 film classed as a Zombedy
(Zombie Comedy).
Mike one of the main characters played by
Michael McKiddy, wakes up to find that he has
been transformed into a zombie yet he is still
able to talk normally and think like an alive
person. He then finds another Zombie, Brent,
that joins him on a road trip to find his true
love Ellie.

3. In this first image it shows a
two shot of a ‘zombie’ and
Mike which clearly shows
that Mike is scared but also
the zombie is scared which
isn’t conventional of what
would usually happen.
In the second image its
shows a close up of one of
the zombies eating a heart,
this shows that zombies like
to feed on blood and flesh
and is slightly typical actions
of what a zombie may do in
the perception of them.

4. Towards the end of the trailer
fast paced editing is used
and cutting. The fast paced
editing is used to cut to and
from many different scenes
from the film giving it a an
edge to make sure you see as
many scenes to make the
viewer want to watch the
film and not just the trailer. It
cuts straight from this scene
(top) to the bottom scene
within 2 seconds. In the first
scene you can see that there
is a zombie child and then in
the next scene a person is on
fire. Which is very different.

5. In the first image to the right, you can see
how make up is used within the movie as
he has blood coming from his mouth. This
is conventional of what zombies tend to
look like in zombie films as you can see in
my research part 1 because there is a
zombie with blood coming from his
mouth. Also there is low key lighting
used as it is night time which makes the
zombie look worse and scarier.
In the second image you can see the
effect of make up because they have
very pale white faces with dry blood
which shows significant signs of
attack on them from zombies or they
have been transformed into a zombie.
You can also see that they are
wearing typical normal everyday
clothes.

6. There are typical sounds used that shows that
they are zombies as there are screams used and
lots of noises that are very slow. Also the
dialogue that is used brings the comedy sense
to the trailer as they make a joke about zombies
being ‘everywhere’ when they are on the
phone. By making it sound like a joke it shows
the comedy element to the comedy horror
genre.

7. In this first image you can
see the typical convention of
how zombies are usually
tried to be killed with sticks
and with things stabbed
through them. Which shows
the conventions of a zombie
film.
As you can see in this image it
shows a person eating a hand which
is usually conventional of what
zombies do as they eat flesh. This is
what you would expect to see in a
trailer for films with a horror
comedy element as it gives a sense
of both genre’s together.
