Dawn Of The Dead (1978) Image Analyses (2)

This High-angle shot is important institutionally as it helps to push a message surrounding consumerism. The zombies are used crudely as a pun. This scene tries to show that we are all zombies to consumerism, so much so it is a natural instinct to shop, hence why they seem to mass around the mall. The low key lighting shows us that this is in fact a depressing place and therefore helps to challenge whether consumerism is bad in the long haul. The scene also uses diegetic sound well to create a satirical scene in which the mall music is played whilst the zombies act as if they are shopping. This is once again a stab at consumerism and its power of the masses.
