1) Shaun of the Dead differs from typical post-apocalyptic horror films by adding elements of comedy through breaking genre conventions. 2) The zombies are portrayed differently in each film - 28 Days Later depicts fast-moving zombies that increase fear, while Shaun of the Dead shows the typical slow, mindless zombies. 3) The films also differ in the weapons used against zombies, with Shaun of the Dead featuring normal household objects and 28 Days Later showing more dangerous weapons like guns.

1. Whithin 28 Days thre has been a variety of structualisum placed im many segments, due to the
adherence to the codes and conventions of the sub-genre (post-apocalypes), as it has been
created by what the audience expectation of what a horror movie should consist off, Shawn of the
dead differes from this as it is a comedic horror film as is poststructualist which is shown throughits
demonstrating throgh it breaking the codes and conventions of apocalypse sub-gnre horror by
adding humour to it. The difference between both of the films already forms that thier will be a
differences between the tones that consist within the films.
Within both films the repensentation of the the Zombies are far from similar. As 28 Days later
braeks away from the typical portrayal of zombies, when Shaun of the dead shows the true
portrayal which is mindless and rotten they uses this and make its comedic film. In 28 Days later
the they decided to challange the codes of the sub-genre of a apocalypse by having the pase of
the zombies speeded up meaning that they can run after their victms now, whch now would
incraese fear within the audience watching the film as the know that the victims now might not be
able to get away; this change is completely different from what is in 28 Days later as the characters
have a chance to run away and defend themselves from the zombies as they still maintain the
typical repsentaition of a zombies as they still walking in the slow lifeless way. Thhe comedic
atmospher is introduced to us when we are shown the setting of his neighbourhood which is
represented an unstimulating, spiritlessand dull because of it being portrayed in this ways lead
Shaun the protaganist to not realise what had changed while he was ging to the local shop and
back home, by doing this it shows the stereotype of british people being stuck in their own life and
them not knowing what is happening around them. Variation between 28 Days later is that they
show the uses of weaponse within the movie suchs guns for protection againts the zombies which
is comonly used in post-apocalypse movies, towards the end of the movie to show the stereotype
of americans using anything dangerous as a weapone without any though of the consequences
was when they started to use the zombies as weapons against the army. In the movie we are
shown sympathy of the zombies through the protaganist Jim which challanges the conventions of a
post-apocalypses film as zombies are never shown as victims or victimised. The weaponse used in
Shaun of the daed where normal huse hold objects which makes the audience feel connected and
relatable to the film as they are representing a normal indevidual who would not have access to all
them weaponry.
Within post-apocalypse movies thiers is always a character that has a strive to survive and kill to
make this happen. This s shown through the the character Selena within Shaun of the dead, she
kills her own friend by cut of his head as she wasnt sure if he was bitten by a zombie or not. The
character Jim withing 28 Days later juxerposes good and evil as at the begining og the film he
shows his warm hearted side by showing sympathy to the zombies, however as we carry on within
the movie we start to see graphic events occur when he kills kills a liitle boy who was infected,
threfore representing that deaths of many people made him to start to change and go on to a
survival mode to kill or to be killed. We are also shown another stereotype within the character
Barbara who wants to resolve problems with a cup of tea and sandwiches, which reflects back on
the assosiation of British people being one minded and ignorant of others and the truth.
To conclude the difference between Shaun of the dead and 28 Days later is the way in which they
created thier films and the way in which they are executed, as Shaun of the dead links both horror
and comedy together, but 28 Days later wanted the audience to not feel or have a comedic outlock
of the movie so they therefore wanted the sub-genre to adhere to the convention clearly.
