28 Weeks Later

In comparison to 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later was slightly more exciting, had more twists in, but on the other hand was probably due to a 5 year technology gap and a $10 million budget difference.

The main family the film focuses on basically brings the virus back into a US protected section of London. Yet again there are many questions asked to how the children escape the safe zone in the first place, why they allow a bitten human back into the base etc...

From the beginning terror and panic is generated, using quick cut editing and handheld shots, when under attack from the "rage" infected zombies. The camera shots aren't a lot different to the original film.

A lot like the original, the story line has many loop holes and many scenes seem unrealistic, ruining a reasonable backbone of a story, with plenty of potential for development.

Even from not enjoying the 28 series, I can take camera shot styles into my own project. A major aspect which I've taken from the film is the decision I'd need to make on whether the zombies in my film will be fast moving like the ones with the "rage" virus, or more slow moving like in The Walking Dead and other zombie films.
