Shaun of the dead

The initial sound that is heard from within the movie is of Simon Pegg yawning; however this sound resembles that of a groaning zombie. This immediately sets the genre of the film, however, the use of presenting him as a zombie, although he is not, foreshadows a zombie invasion. The sound track that follows it is a surreal uplifting sound track, that slowly goes lower pitched, until in fades out. Again, the sound track fades out when comedy is introduced, a common feature among action comedy films, and comedy films in general.
During the clip, it shows a Simon Pegg jumping over a fence, stating “haven’t you ever taken a shortcut?”. This links with the trailer for Hot Fuzz, in which the main characters are played by the same characters. In fact, both of these films are within a “trilogy” called blood and ice cream, in which there are 3 films by the same writer, starting the same actors, however, the films are not in sync, but have subtle references to the others.
