The sub genre trailer demonstrates some competence in the selection of genre conventions in its use of locations and an earnest attempt at showing desertion in London. However this lasts for nearly half the trailer and the camera is unsteady and shots are too long. Without the story of the zombies turning the opening sequence drags and becomes tired. Using more fades would show time passing and conform to trailer conventions and intercutting with the burger scenes would be a solution. At over 3 minutes this is twice the length of an actual trailer and will limit the grade. The zombies are too still and awkward standing there for the camera, they need to be shuffling or biting or attacking. The later scenes are far more suitable but again the pace and shot length is not appropriate for a horror. There is some variety of footage to make this a recognisable attempt at a trailer for a Horror film. Sound is not synced to be effective though suitable sounds are used. Titles also need to be consistent with the genre and the campaign. Overall this needs cutting down and refining. Level 2 D
