Edgar Wright - Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead By Brearna Sandri Shaun of the Dead In this close viewing I will be using the films Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, directed by Edgar Wright, to show significant aspects/techniques of different scenes used in both films. I will be focusing on the features of sound effects, dialogue and comparing near same scenes within two different films and the aspects that Edgar Wright was trying to cover. Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz both have fence jumping scenes. In Shaun of the Dead, the scene is opened with Shaun opening the gate quite forcefully along with the rest of his team. Shaun says â€Å"The Winchester’s just over there† and David says in a sarcastic tone, â€Å"Just over there behind the 20 garden fences?† When David is saying the last bit of his sentence the camera pans over the fences in which they have to jump to show audiences what they have to jump over. For example, to show why David is being sarcastic towards Shaun, and why it’s being used in that particular scene, Shaun then says â€Å"What’s the matter, David? Never taken a shortcut before?†, and smirks while turning behind, and tries to jump over the fence but ends up making the fence fall over. He then picks himself back up and subtly tries to make it seem like he didn’t just break the fence. The background noise in this scene is filled with car alarms, house a larms and deep music/sound effects. This creates the effect of a crisis situation, as they are in a zombie apocalypse.Show MoreRelatedCharacter Analysis Of Hot Fuzz933 Words   |  4 Pagesseriously.

This could be in reference to fairytales always using the number 3, since this plot seems far-fetched like a fairytale. How ever, it could also be in reference to the trilogy of films that Wright and Pegg made together. Then, there is the swan symbol. Swans typically symbolize grace, beauty, and peace. In the film, though, the swans symbolize an overbearing distraction. Nicholas is constantly surrounded by them in the hotel he stays at, which
