Ending/Central Question: Can Horatio be human again? Will Horatio Live?

Key Micro Elements: I have chosen to focus on the way sound is used to lure unsuspecting zombies into traps for easy pickings. Specifically referencing other zombie films where aural traps are used to either kill or distract a zombie. I have also focused on the use of camera again to emphasize Horatio being alone once more as I feel the use of camera can really help highlight how small he is and how unimportant he is.

Scene Description Focusing on Key Micro Aspects: Horatio is walking down an empty city street [Camera] dead bodies and wreckage litter the streets [Mise en scene]. A small light tapping is heard [diegetic sound] almost as if tins are being hit together gesturing Horatio down an alley way between the buildings [camera]. Gradually the tapping becomes louder [Diegetic sound] and Horatio is nearing the end of the alley way.

As Horatio is unleashed to the other side of the alley the sun shine masks his vision [editing] a knife is quickly lunged into his skull [mise en scene]. He drops to the floor [Camera] as survivors cheer [diegetic sound]
