World War Z

World War Z could fit into a horror-thriller or action-horror genre, this is because of the gore, the jump scares, the use of music, the tension built up, the guns, explosions also zombies are very well known for being in horror films. The introduction to the film communicates the genre very well as there are a lot news reports and footage of the wildlife and it shows a lot of footage about viruses, predators and prey which is a big link to the main narrative of the film. This film could be argued to be a sci-fi horror film as the virus used to create these zombies is actually science fiction which is usually  missed by viewers as most people stereotype sci-fi films as films which futuristic space ships and alien films.

This film fits into the Hollywood production context, this is because of the stars that they have who act in this film. It is easy to tell this is a Hollywood film by the budget used in this too as it looks very professional by the top quality equipment. This film being a zombie film with a lot of over the top explosions and action scenes is very common for a Hollywood film and another huge giveaway.

Having well known stars in the film is a good way to get viewers as fans of the stars in the film will want to go and see their latest film. Depending on how big this star is then it gives a hint on the budget of the film and how good the film will be. The stars used could also hint on what kind of film this will be as some actors are known for what genre they star in usually.

In this film the non-diagestic were used quite a lot throughout this production. This Hollywood film keeps the viewer on the edge of their sheet the whole way through, the budget was obviously very high for this film as a lot of CGI and make-up must have been used. In Hollywood films nowadays it is very common to see superhero films and zombie films as these have become a big hit in the last decade. The locations used were brilliant as they use famous places from the U.S and other places over the world.

The technology used relates to the production context as a Hollywood film as in this film we see CGI for example huge explosions and plane crashes. The make-up in this film used on all the zombie actors was extremely realistic looking and quite scary, I think they couldn't have done this better so I rate this film highly for that. The stars, equipment, narrative, music and shots used were also to a high standard.

I think queer theory can be related to in this film as the main male character (Brad Pitt) has long hair which sometimes could stereotype someone as being homosexual. One of the main female characters has short hair and she also happens to be in the army, this would place her into the butch or soft butch category.

I am a big fan of Hollywood films, most of the time they are much more entertaining than British or Bollywood films, this is because they have a much bigger budget and better equipment most of the time. It's also much easier for them to bring in top quality stars, get the best locations to shoot at and the CGI is much more advanced than anywhere else. The whole feel of this film is very professional.
