In the future world, humans and zombies have been coexisting with each other for many years. People’s attitudes towards zombies have gradually changed and they are beginning to accept them as part of society. On this day, an ordinary zombie decides to help a grandmother crossing the street, even though he doesn’t need to worry about the dangers of vehicles like humans do. The grandmother smiles at him gratefully and says thank you, and this action makes him late for an important interview.

When he finally made it to the interview, he felt panicked. His brain was no longer as flexible as it used to be, he stumbled over his answers, and he lost all confidence. He felt sure that he had lost his chance at the job; after all, he was an outlier in this human-dominated society.

However, he was wrong. The interviewer announced the result at the end of the interview and he was surprisingly hired! Everyone was very surprised and asked the interviewer why he had chosen a candidate who had performed so poorly.

The interviewer smiled and explained, “Because zombies don’t need to sleep.” He explained that since zombies don’t need to spend as much time sleeping each day as humans do, this zombie would be able to provide the company with more work time and energy. They believe that this potential productivity advantage far outweighs his poor performance in the interview.

Center shot:

When the main character decides to go and help the grandmother cross the street, the camera can follow him and capture his determination and kindness. (Dirty shot with Mr. Zombie’s shoulder in the foreground in relation to the back of the scene for an occlusion)

In the scene where the main character decides to go and help the grandmother cross the street, use a medium camera movement to follow his steps, the

Close-up shot:

When the interviewer announces the hiring of the protagonist, use a close-up close-up to capture the details of the protagonist’s shocked expression and the interviewer’s smile.

Close-ups of the time at the traffic light when the protagonist is helping the grandmother cross the street, highlighting the importance of time at this moment, which is also an important clue throughout the story.

Rapid editing photography:

In the scene where the protagonist is late for the interview, rapid editing is used to alternate between the scene where he is rushing and the scene where the interviewer is waiting, increasing the sense of rhythm and tension. For example, in the scene where the main character is in a hurry, I can use a series of rapid editing shots, including a close-up of the main character holding an alarm clock, a panoramic shot of the main character running down the street, a side shot of a pedestrian on the side of the road, a quick shot of a traffic vehicle, etc. These shots will alternate quickly between the main character holding an alarm clock and the interviewer waiting for him to arrive at the interview. These shots would alternate quickly to emphasize the urgency of the protagonist’s lateness and the challenges he faces.

Meanwhile, at the interview location, I could alternate scenes showing the interviewer waiting with close-ups of his impatient fingers tapping on the desk, side shots of him frowning, close-ups of him looking at his watch, and so on. The quick editing of these shots will increase the tension and anxiety of the audience, making them more engaged in the story and looking forward to the final result.

Finally, when the interviewer explains the reason for the hiring, rapid editing is used to alternately show the interviewer’s words and the protagonist’s facial reactions, increasing the tension and suspense of the plot.

Dynamic camera shooting:

During the interview, the slight shaking of the camera to show the protagonist’s nervousness and uneasiness can convey his inner anxiety more vividly.
