1 Analyse how the opening scene of of Shaun of the Dead ( in the pub) uses film form to introduce its themes of relationships and friendship and creates some of the the narrative enigmas and issues that Shaun will have to solve and resolve in the film
These may include :
Shaun's relationship with Liz....what and who are the barriers to their relationship succeeding and how is this shown in the opening ? What does Shaun need to fix ? Who is deciding this ?
Shaun's friendship with Ed ...is this friendship positive or is it holding Shaun back ?
plus
Relationship with family ?
Shaun's own personal development ?
Look at examples of camera shots. framing , key mise-en-scene , editing ,performance and other elements of film form.
2 Create a list of characters , settings and objects present or discussed in the opening scene that can represent the binary opposites of working class and middle class culture and aspirations e.g
Working class Middle class
Pub Restuarant
Pint Glass of wine
Ed Davs and Di
Where does Shaun fit in ?
