2 Unseen Films

Zombieland:
In the film zombieland the plot is written to give a different insight to those that have been previoiusly viewed in a film about the zombie genre. Rather than using horror aspects, this film used a different approach and used comedy. The plot is written to give humour in the zombie survival situation, and to give the audience a different way to look at a zombie apocalypse. This plot impactst he storyline in a positive way as a wide variety of audiences with different Vals and Tags enjoy being humoured by films. The storyline attracts the audience by turning an incredibly negative setting, to a relatively positive one. The storyline to this film is very basic, and had nothing unique to keep the audience satisfied, instead the film used a lot of slapstick comedy to entice the audience and keep them watching. The structure of this film is pretty much following the basic 3 acts and a climax structure, starting off with Act One (where the main character introduces himself and explains his rules, and how the zombies spread, etc). Act Two also follows the basic structure of films where the main characters make their journey to LA to get to the theme parck that the two main female characters have been travelling across the zombie infested country to get to. The “dark moment” from the film in this act is when the girls leave the two male characters and go to the theme park on their own and end up attracting hordes of zombies, making them trapped appearing that all hope had been lost. This set up the film for the climax which involved the two male characters coming to the rescue and killing most of the zombies. Which also brings us back to Act 3 which concludes the storyline with the classic “hero gets the girl” structure.

Year One:
In the film Year One the plot is written to give a funny version of the beginning of genesis, which is part of the bible. The film isn’t aiming to insult the bible or any of it’s readers, but its aim was to give the audience a more simpler, funnier version of this particular part in the bible. This in a way would help some of the audience to understand the bible better, and also gives the audience a different aspect of the bible as the film portrays it in a different manner. The impact this plot had on the storyline was large as the storyline was based largely around this plot. I believe that this film attracts audience of different ages and religious beliefs, such as Atheists, Christians, Catholics, etc. Audiences of these different religions can see the humour in the film whether they believe in God, or not. Audiences of different age groups can also enjoy this film as it uses a lot of slapstick humour which would attract younger audiences, and the film also uses a lot of adult humour, although in a way as to not make it too obvious to the younger audience. Year One also follows the basic film structure that most films follow. Act One introduces the two main characters (the hunter and the gatherer), and also introduces the plot that this film is going to follow. Act Two introduces the problems that the main characters face along the way such as the slavery, and being captured constantly. The Climax in Year One is when “the hunter” and “the gatherer” both cause an uprising in the city and become respected as leaders by the citizens. Act 3 is also very basic as the “heroes” defeats the “bad guys” and win the girl.
