World war Z

The movie is about a United Nations employee Gerry Lane traverses the world in a race against time to stop the Zombie pandemic that is toppling armies and governments, and threatening to destroy humanity itself.

Setting-
the film starts set in a city, then it goes to being set in on a army boat where people have been moved for there own protection.The film changes setting a few times as the film progresses like there is a setting in a plain and a old city as well. All of these settings all mixed together and switch round to make a more interesting story. i think by changing the setting often makes it  a better film as if the whole film was set in one place it would be perhaps boring. So i personally think that how the director has shaped things up a bit  with the setting ha created a better film by doing so.

lighting- in this film i think it has mainly used natural lighting  as most of the scenes shot in this film are actually set outside. They probably used some artificial lighting too. They would have done this to cut down on the amount of days it took them to film. They also would of used artificial lighting in darker areas where they needed to film. However even when they did us artificial lighting it looks well and you cant tell that they have used it. The lighting in in the film has a good range of contrast between when it is bright and in the darker areas. The lighting fits in well as each scene has the perfect lighting for the ambiance that there trying to create in them and they capture it really well.

Special effects- like in every film this film also uses a lot of special effects, as this is a zombie film i think that more special effects are needed compared to a film with just normal people. There is also a lot of special effects that you never would of thought were actual effects. there is a scene in the film were a plane gets destroyed in the air and people are flying out of this plane into the sky and then it crashes. In that one scene alone there would of been loads of special effects used.

Costumes- With each actor comes a different costume depending on what there part in the film is obviously. In this film each character doesn't tend to have that many costumes personally. they tend to have only have 1-3 different costumes throughout the film however they have lots of copies of the same costume but maybe slightly dirtier or ripped or have blood on or the progression of the costume getting dirtier throughout the film . this is because it is a survival film they will only be able change there clothes when they have chance when there out and about they clothes will only be getting dirtier and messed up.
