Shaun or the Dead & Memoirs of a Survivor

Costume: For Matt he will first be in his pajamas and socks when he first wakes up and makes his way to the bathroom and then he will proceed to put on his shirt and tie on and a smart black coat ready for work. This enables the audience to relate to the protagonist more as the majority of 19 to 30 year olds go to work and earn a living. As well as basing our characters costumes on Shaun of from Shaun of the Dead the characters are also alike in their personality.

Characters and similarities:

For instance Shaun is a 29-year-old with not much of a life ambition and only really has a concern for his dead beat flat mate. He's in a dead end job which he doesn't really enjoy and this is reflected in our film as its apparent that Matt isn't the happiest of people when getting ready to venture out. As we have reflected all of this in the intro to our film this is also shown in some ways in the plot. For exampleat the start of Shaun of the dead it starts with The Winchester, a traditional London pub and as the plot begins to develop it appears that Shaun also doesn't know that there is a zombie apocalypse which is similar to ours. As these two characters are very alike it is apparent that the flat mates are to. Edgar (Shauns flat mate) is a crude slob who sits on the couch all days and deals with marijuana. Matt also has a fat mate who appears to be alike. In our first shoot Matt asks his flatmate 'Good night last night?' in which he replies with a 'Hm' suggesting he is hungover.This adds to the effect of his flatmate being a zombie for the audience.
