This photograph shows the
group of survivors who at this point are still in the shopping mall. The group
have just run away from a mass of zombies which created chaos in the scene.
They then make their way into a nearby elevator which creates a sense of
normality for short amount of time. Collision cutting has been used before and
after this scene to go from a loud scene to where something is happening to
another scene which is quiet and there isn’t much going on.
The music which is being
played into the elevator is contrapuntal which adds a sense of happiness which
doesn’t go with the chase scene. CJ adds slight comedy when he says “I like
this song” which makes the other members of the group look at him in confusion.
The elevator itself -disconnects the group from the rest of the world where
zombies are over powering, making it a safe haven for only a couple of seconds.
This shot shows a medium close up so the
audience can see all of the characters in the elevator. This scene creates a
sense of claustrophobia as they are all confined in a small space, making the
audience feel slightly uncomfortable at times. The lighting appears to be
ambient and is sourced from the elevator, again creating abrief sense of
normality.
