Dawn of the Dead (2004) Image analysis (2)


This shot is of the female victim Monica being killed by Glen with a chainsaw.  Monica is the stereotypically female victim.  She is an attractive blonde, not overly intelligent, and is fairly fragile.  This is quite a gory scene since we get quite a long close-up of the chainsaw going into her.  This scene may surprise some people since they won’t be expecting a death since there are no zombies nearby.  This takes part in the middle of a quick montage, this technique is frequently used in action, thriller, and horror film because it creates a fast paced atmosphere of excitement and panic.
