Zombieland - Genre and Audience-

1. The genre of "Zombieland" is zombies and the tradition of the undead army is criticize real world social ills such as slavery, greed, and exploitation (or the selfish utilization for profit). These characteristics have been apart of human culture for centuries. Even though we know zombies do not exist we feel that we should deviate from normal human life and create a monster that is relatable.

2. The scenes in the movie relate to apocalypses which will forcefully incorporate action and suspense. The features determining genre are the type of characters in the movie. For example, it is very obvious that not only does the title says Zombie in "Zombieland" but there are zombies in the movie.

3. Zombies date back to the year 1932 where the first ever Zombie film came out. The name of this zombie movie was "White Zombie" and it was arguably the first mainstream zombie film that took cues from real life ancient religions like voodoo. Over the years zombies have been symbols of nuclear experiments, alien invasions, the rotting undead, and Nazi-voodoo. One other feature movie Zombieland relates to is 2012. Both these movies describe the world nearing an end. Both movies focus on a group that is trying to survive, they face many challenges like food and shelter.

4. The comedic film was Directed by Ruben Fleischer, Produced by Gavin Polone, Written by Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese

The reason for making this film is unapparent but this movie idea was in the directors heads for four years before production in the pre-production phase. There script was updated every week constantly with new ideas.

5. What we notice about these movie writers is that they are very childish as in they ridicule and mock the end of the world. We as an audience know that if everyone was a zombie that there would be no one to crop for food therefore the food supply is limited. The directors turned the end of the world into some type of comedic game. Ruben Fleischer never wanted to be a director growing up but after working as an assistant on a movie he wanted to see what it was all about.

This fits in with the directors other work because his new pation led him to make bigger and better productions that audiences actually enjoyed.
The theme that this film describes is to create your own code or set of rules to abide by so that you can survive and never be lost in the world.
The target audience is anyone who is interested in science fiction or zombies.
