Storyboard Summary - George Peat

 1. Title sequence and characters talking. Helps establish who is who and what the situation is, in this case Scarlett, Callam, and Georgia discussing what to do after Scarlett's father didn't answer his phone.


2. Zombies emerging from foliage. First time the threat is seen,  kicks off chase sequence.

3. Chase sequence. multiple angles and shot types are used, this combined with the fast cuts gives a sense of pace and rapidity to the film.

4. Chase sequence. Continues from storyboard 3, multiple angles and shot types used to give sense of rapidity.

5. Chase sequence. low angle shots allow the feet to be seen, and therefore how they the characters are moving, desperate to escape the zombies.

6. Chase sequence. 

7. Characters have escaped zombies. The main characters have stopped for a breather, this allows us to see how much strain the situation is putting on them. Close ups and medium shots to see facial expression more clearly to get this across.

8. Zombies take out Georgia. This part is vital since it shatters the sense of safety given by the previous storyboard section. As a result keeping the viewer on edge.

9. Scarlett and Callam escape. Over the shoulder, close ups and medium shots used to show points of view and facial expressions during the struggle to get away.

10. Georgia's demise. This shows the stereotypical gore element of the zombie genre, with Georgia being clawed at and ripped apart.
