In Romero Dairy of the Dead and Jason Creeds team Death of Death film about Zombies, both authors uses characters to send a message about how the internet and national media to portray real world events and how to protect themselves in such. Make-up and effects are used to show the audience that the events in the film are very realistic. Finally, uses a movie with a movie, this gives the audience different prospective on how the movie is played out. Throughout the film Romero also shows other points that support his strategy such as how the government and news media hide information from the public to keep and how the human race will do anything for survival based on what is put on the internet. The purpose of the movie was to capture the truth on how media affects our daily lives.
The government changes the view of what really going on to make society believe everything is alright. People learn how to survive by watching the truth and how to deal with it. The internet is the way of covering the view of the story.
How people react when there is something going on and thing they do when they become scared shows the true nature of us. People tend to do thing that the normally wouldn’t do when something it’s at risk. When people are at their last of everything they will do anything to get what they need such killing stealing to get the basic needs of survival like food and water. This argues that maybe human’s nature is to do such things. Creeds team put it best when the editor stated that us against them (speaking on humans against zombies) to turn it around and say they are us saying that humans are adapting to the habit of zombies. People start to turn against each other.
Jason Creeds team film effect the audience with awareness. It let the public see the actually stories of the people. When there became more and more people blogging and telling stories the true becomes hard to find.
Strategy #1
Romero uses the characters to send a message to the public. The message itself is a bit simple, however, within the message there is something else that Romero is trying to tell the audience. How the media and the government are covering up the details and the truth about the attack is Romero’s message. Romero used Jason creed and his team to expose the government and there lies. In the beginning of the film, he showed how the news report basically reported what sound realistic rather than reporting what they actually saw.
Strategy #2
Make-up and effects are added to show Romero’s why of expressing his emotional appeal to the film. Make up is used to express the characters character. In this case, the zombies are wearing make up in expression of some kind of horror. Effects such as camera motion and sound and tone are used to show another kind of emotional appeal. Different noises and motion of the camera are meant to scare the audience. You may be thinking why would you would to scare them? Well I believe it helps keep the audience attention on the production.
Strategy #3
In the film dairy of the dead, there was also another film called death of death produced by Jason creed. Romero’s purpose of placing the film into two films is to make it seem like an actual tragedy. The second is an attachment to the first one. This strategy helps the audience understand how the attack happened. I believe if the film itself was only “dairy of the dead”, you would only see the view as an audience that is watching a normal movie. You understand only the basic concept which is zombies attacking people and how it’s being covered up. You wouldn’t have a clue on how to protect yourself in case of an actual zombie attack and know the ways on survival throughout it. With it being a movie with a movie, there are benefits. The audience gets to see a two way street of the film. One way is how to view the tragedy and the other is what to do when there is a tragedy of the kind. Basically the audience will be able to see the cause and the effect.
