Shawn of the Dead

This film was particularly mentioned for its style of joke zombie and also graphically. I watched the film again to get an idea of  the sort of humour they were interested in and looked into the style that they used to get a solid idea of the style approach I would go for.

• The hard chunky writing they used for the piece is classic of the zombie culture and I want to use the same or similar type face.
• The logo like hand rising up is included cleverly in the type. Clever way to incorporate.
• The slogan "ever felt like you were surrounded by zombies helps communicate its a comedy and creates amusement. If I could come up with something for "The Theatre of Doom" this could well help my chances.
•  Wall of zombies is offend used and may be a useful idea to incorporate.

The humour in the film looks into the abserdness of the situations and looking at dark subject in a light hearted manor. Using everyday events and situautions in a less than ordinary situation helps it relate with the audience and make them laugh. If I can do this then I can perhaps create more interest in the play and my poster as well as communicate the humour in the play.
