Dawn Of The Dead (2004) Image Analysis 2


 

 This photograph shows a medium close up of Ana who fits the character of the final girl. Ana comes across physically and mentally tough throughout the film, as she fights the zombies and tries to save people’s lives. Ana goes against the typical stereotype as she is one of the last surviving girls but has blonde hair. However she does have that tomboy look about her as she seems like she doesn’t care about the way she looks.

This scene is when the remaining survivors escape the mall and find a boat which will take them to a deserted island. In this shot we see the American flag erected on the boat this symbolising freedom and power and links to the American U.S war and their desire to beat both Terrorism and Iraq during their conflicts.  

The lighting appears to be natural in this scene and is shining on Ana as she watches Michael on the jetty. The light shining on Ana suggests that there is hope for the character and that they will find a safe haven for themselves. This sets up the final twist, because during the end credits we see that the survivors makes it to the island however they are soon attacked by zombies and end up dying making the film have an unhappy ending.
