By George Gibbard

I will be comparing Shaun of the dead and Scooby doo because they are very similar to our movie they are comedy movies but at the same time they are comedies meaning that they link to our project. Also the two movies have a similar storyline to our movie.

Scooby-doo costumes change from there normal clothes and the clothes that are worn in the television show normally. So as they board the plane they wear everyday clothes and as they arrive on the island they have there normal clothes on but when they realize there is a mystery on there hands they change into the clothes which they use to solve a mystery in there cartoon.

Fred – Freddie Prinze

Daphne – Sarah Gellar

Shaggy – Matthew Lillard

Velma – Linda Cardellini

Scooby Doo – Neil Fanning (voice over)

All the characters that are seen above are the main characters in the Scooby doo movie

The movie is set on a island called spooky island where its normally a theme park and that attracts a lot of young people to the island. There is only one way onto the island and only one way of the island which is by boat so once the group are there they cant get off of the island.

Fred, Daphne, Velma, shaggy and Scooby have been sent an invitation to go to spooky island to solve a mystery. However not knowing that everybody else from the gang is there. The theme park owner Mr. Emile Mondavarious was worried bout the things which are happening on his island and the only people so sort it out are the gang.

In the movie there is a lot of special effects firstly there is Scooby which is a cartoon character. Also there is Scooby's cousin who is also a cartoon. Finally there is all the monsters which are also special effects as they are cartoons the same as Scooby and his cousin

The iconography in Scooby-Doo is that the gang is always in the same colors clothes/ mystery clothes.

Fred = white jumper with blue collar and blue trousers

Velma = orange jumper, orange skirt, orange socks and orange shoes

Shaggy = green t-shirt and brown trousers

Daphne = pink dress and pink boots.

Furthermore they gang travel around in there mystery machine which is there truck

Shaun wears his work uniform throughout the whole of the movie. Whilst Ed wears a t-shirt with a a pair of jeans this makes the movie look normal people in everyday life meaning that the viewer of the movie can link themselves to that movie.

Simon Pegg as Shaun

Nick Frost as Ed

Kate Ashfield as Liz

Lucy Davis as Dianne

Dylan Moran as David

This movie is set at his house and he moves around his little town getting the people that mean the most to Shaun also he spend a lot of time in his local pub the Winchester where he ends up setting up shop and staying there for the zombie apocalypse

There has been a zombie apocolypse in shaunshome town and he takes it upon himself to be the person who will protect his closest and dearest around him and that is what he does at the Winchester Shaun's local pub or his home from home as he spends everyday after work there. But in the pub the zombies get in will he survive or become a zombie and turn on his friend and family

In this movie the special effects are mostly on the zombies and what they look like because gthe are the main characters in the movie the zombies make up is special effects beucase the don’t just normally look like that and they need a special mke up artist to do this finally there is the shooting at the end which is special effects as they don’t really shoot the people they shoot blank bullets

the main characters are a iconography on there own meaning that they are usually together ( Simon pegg and Nick frost) as they have been in other movies such as the worlds end and paul

Also the comedy side of the movie as zombie movies are usually horrors but they have made it so that they have put there own little spin on the zombie stereotype
