The trailer opens with a fade from black to an establishing shot of a train station. Its night, and we hear a sound bridge of a guard saying "Hey fellas, it's illegal to cross the tracks."
Whilst a man tells someone (who the audience assume is in power) about a chemical that brings people to life we see a flash of images. Here is shown a police scene, at night, and this makes the the viewer wonder what they are looking at.
This is a high-angled shot of a skeleton. The camera zooms out to show more skeletons, showing just how many zombies there might be.
After a fight at the train station from the establishing shot, we hear a gun being fired. The film cuts to a long shot of green ominous gass billowing out of a carridge.
The screen fades to black. A quick shot of this zombie nun flashes up. We see the man out of focus in the background and assume that he is stil human, and just as curious as the audience about the zombie nun.
A fade from black reveals this empty office. We assume that its been exited in a hurry due to the papers scattered on the floor and all the lights not being properly turned off.
There is a sub-plot introduced, where a convict must be taken to England. During the car journey we have a Point Of View shot from someone inside the car, when a dead body lands on the windscreen. This is followed imediatly by a reaction shot of everyone in the car jumping.
Then images quickly flash by, creating tension as the viewer does not get a clear idea of what is happening. This shot shows a zombie head and vertebret writhing around, demonstrating how hard it is to stop these zombies.
A following shot shows the vast numbers of the undead emerging from a dark foggy night. The different heights show that this affects everyone.
This close up shot shows a man with a gun. This demonstrates how humans are defending themselves.
This medium shot, now reveals how humans have baricaded themselves inside to protect themselves. Yet zombies are still strange to them and this is why the human is staring at them as they reach for his brains.
This shot started behind the humans backs, and it rose to become a high angled long shot showing the vast numbers of zombies. The humans are talking about what to do if they wake up, and as the zombies are all on their backs it is safe for the audience to presume that zombies are lazy during the day. Fade to black.
This anchorage fades in, introducing the tag line for the film. As it is in capitals, it makes the message appear more urgent.
We again see a montage of humans attacking droves of zombies.
The montage finishes and fades to black. Then the title appears. The biohazard symbol shows how the zombies start. The red of the text and the blood splatter plays on how gory these films are. The background is made to look like steel, showing how strong and determind the zombies are, and what a threat it is to humanity.
The shot changes to show a struggle between the woman (the only woman introduced through this trailer) and a hoarde of zombies. This might play on the final girl theory.
The end screen shows the title, the main cast and crew as well as the production companies involved in its creation. There is no release date.
