Setting Setting in the game is the same as the rest of the game in a post-apocalyptic world where the majority of the population are zombies. The setting in this trailer is that there is a man who is trying to blank out what is happening around him with music and is infected himself. This trailer uses music to mask what is happening around him.

0:34 – The sound increases when the volume goes up on the phone.0:50– The music says ‘I’m a bomb I’m about to blow up.’ Which is what’s happening.

Mood The mood in the trailer is false happiness until around 1:45 where the infection begins to spread and it’s too late to do anything when he looks down at his arm.

1:45– This is where you hear the music say ‘Join the band’ as he becomes a zombie like everyone else

Game genre The games genre is an open world survival horror game but that is not displayed in the trailer; all you know from the trailer is it is a zombie game.

2:14 – The man in the trailer fully turns and there is no ambient noise just the zombie groans showing he has fully changed.
