1. Storyboarding and script - Think of the opening titles, there were lots of jokes but they were very different to Zombieland . How were they different?

2. Script - Give 2 examples of jokes in SOTD. Any that were similar or the same to Zombieland.

4. Finance-  What was SOTD so much cheaper do you think? Think about the Mis-en-scene and actors.

5. Music - What did you notice about the type of music played in the opening and throughout? Any other music mentioned and why did they choose these types of music?
