"World War Z" Tech Review
24 November 2013
World War Z transforms Max Brooks' novel into a successful big screen film through excellent filming, acting, and score. One of the most unique and intriguing parts about the making of World War Z was how they created this new generation of zombie. To produce this fast moving and extremely intense monster, the production team relied on the use of "CGI". The team recorded many different types of movements and simulated these mobs in order to create the perfect mass zombie attacks. In addition to creating zombies, many different parts of the film were computer generated. For example, during the thrilling attack in Israel featured in the trailer, when the helicopter is crashed by the hoard of zombies, which was created through CGI. Whenever a certain scene proved too difficult to shoot traditionally, CGI was used. In addition the successful integration of CGI, the traditional camera work, acting, and music played an equally important role in the film. The fast and sometimes shaky camera-work along with the cuts created a thrilling feel to important scenes. Both the camera-work and music worked alongside each other to generate the right emotions in every scene. Obviously, the acting was important to the film as well, without the acting of every character the film would not have been as successful as it was. With the combination of all of these elements, World War Z will go down in the books as a unique and successful adaptation of a novel into a major motion picture.
