Generic Conventions used in 28 days later versus Shaun of the Dead Essa

28 days after and Shaun of the beat(p) ar both a zombie film, which is a sub-genre of horror. However their genres be utmost(a)ly different beca engross Shaun of the Dead is also a comedy.Both of these films use normal conventions of the zombie genre. For example, they both use the convention of desertion and loneliness. In 28 days later, Jim comes out of the hospital to a altogether deserted city (London). This convention helps create unease in an audience, specially when these scenes argon set in places that are usually crowded i.e. we need cities to be full with people and therefore it is very disturbing when we name them completely abandoned. In Shaun of the Dead there is dramatic irony as the audience realises there is something wrong a long time in the beginning the protagonists do. However this adds to the protagonists vulnerability because they go forth not be expecting anything and therefore will not be prepared.The unease created by this convention is played on in 28 days later by having several extreme long shots of the city which shows the audience that everywhere is deserted (not just the are where Jim is). The mise-en-scene is extremely important in this scene because props such as abandoned money and an abandoned car make is appear as if everyone has just dropped their possessions and run. This emphasises the feeling that something terrible has happened.The zombies in each film resemble each other in the way that they are always cover in birth, and (although different in the two films) there is an emphasis on their eyes. In 28 days later, their eyes are blood red and this is shown right from the beginning sequence and used throughout the firm film.Another generic convention that both of the films use is the ide... ... rushing to extradite some others, Phillip is saying things like Do you realise this is a 20mile govern? Another example is the garden scene where Shaun and Ed are winning time to decide which records to throw at the zombies even though it is a race against time sequence as the zombies are approaching them.However, in the pub scene, Shaun of the dead starts to show a lot more typical conventions of the zombie genre.In both Shaun of the dead and 28 days later there is a typical convention of this genre used, which is that there are only a few protagonists compared to hundreds of zombies. For example when the main characters are leftover in the pub in Shaun of the dead, there are silhouettes of hundreds of zombies attempt to get in through the doors and windows. The convention of being cornered is oftentimes used general horror films not just in the sub-genre of zombie.
