Film work for chris!

Performance


The interaction between the characters is very well worked and practiced. The characters can focus and interacting between each other while concentrating on the immediate threat of being eaten alive. The performers body expressions also work very well and help to add significant understanding to the situation they're faced with. The facial expressions also help to deliver the fear while also delivering an aspect of comedy. The vocal delivery between the characters to the viewers really helps to enhance the comical side of the film. The seriousness of their voices also helps to display tension between the group inside the pub.

Cinematography


In terms of cinematography, there are various types of camera angles used. Mainly close ups and medium close ups to display emotion and expressions on their faces, especially the zombie landlord.  Their are many shots where other characters are blurred out in the background while focusing on other characters.  There are various special effects used for example when a dart is thrown and gets stuck in Shaun's head. Their are various camera positions fixed around the vault of the pub allowing the viewer to see all sides of the room throughout the scene.

Sound


Throughout the scene there is mainly only Diegetic sound for example the vocal interaction between the different actors and also the song "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen playing through the jukebox in the pub. However this is also used to work with the viewer in a Non Diegetic sort of way. It is played in perfect time with every part of the fight scene as if it is actually accompanying the scene.

Editing


The "Winchester Pub / Don't stop me now" fight scene worked to its aimed potential in a short time of only 2:46 seconds. The space available in the scene worked really well when trying to maximize shot size to cover all the characters at once in a fairly small space.
