The image I have chosen is where zombies have taken over the mall. It gives the idea of how even after death there is still consumerism. It indicates how we act in today’s society how in a way we are the zombies just travelling from shop from shop interest in objects and things. [[[ADD IN MORE DETAIL ABOUT THE CONTEXT HERE AND HOW IT REFLECTS ROMERO'S HATRED OF ALL THE NEW MALLS OPENING UP IN THE 1970s. COMPARE TO ANOTHER OF HIS HORRORS THAT REFLECTS ITS CONTEXT]]]
The lighting and the camera angles (where the shops are above the zombies) connotes that the shops and corporal business overpower our needs of things and how as people are weak and small to the big industries which consume us. As well as this the canted angle and the use of a Point of View shot shows that without the zombies nothing would have changed from this shot. The lighting in this image give the impression that the whole mall is lit up with fluorescent lights and colourful neon signs, which connotes consumerism is rampant even at night.
