EXIT SCENE.  

Horror comedy

A female corpse is walking through the forest , she stops and looks around her and she smiles. The voices of people can be heard not that far away , she walks up to the people and she says “hello , my name is Rose ” and all of the people scream.

four people have bats and they have been Killing zombies due to the fact that the picture is a still from Shaun Of The Dead
Shaun Of the dead (2004 , directed by Edgar Wright) is a film that subverts the typical tropes associated with the genre of horror by adding a lot of comedy as well as the horror. I wanted to do something similar but instead of the protagonist being evil , I wanted her to be nice and well meaning.

influences for sound

i have been very inspired by the soundtrack in ‘The Hobbit an unexpected journey’ which was directed by Peter Jackson. I was really moved by the soundtrack in this film because of themes that run throughout the film for example there is the theme-tune of the shire and this theme is reintroduced whenever Bilbo refers back to his shire and his life before his journey. The theme-tune helps to remind the audience of the peaceful shire.
