• Were there any stars involved with World War Z? if yes do you think that was.

         One of the main protagonists get involved into World War Z. Former UN investigator Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt), which left his job, because of his family.

• How did the narrative, dialogue, characters and locations relate to the production context?

          I think actors represent and relates to Hollywood production context, because mostly all of them are Americans, i can understand that from their accents. Other aspect shows that movie is a Hollywood film by soldiers with U.S. navy uniforms and their 'headquarters' surroundings in the Atlantic Ocean.  While watching the movie audience could see subtitles about cities names, which shows more that film is from Hollywood context for example, Philadelphia, Newark in New Jersey.

Main protagonist travels through the world. Firstly, to the South Korea to check on military base in there, later he goes to the Jerusalem after Jerusalem he goes to Wales and in the end of the movie to see his family he goes to the Canada. Talking about narrative of the movie, it is about deadly zombie virus, which turns people into the zombies.

• How did the technology used relate to the production context? Gives examples and compare this to Bollywood and/or British Film.

World War Z is Hollywood production movie, which i can see from high technology, which been used in the movie. Good quality of CGI to create the zombies, whose quickly attacking and spreading through the world. Good sound effects, which make horror movie intense. By watching  this horror movie made by Hollywood and one made by Bollywood, I could see difference between them. Even if Bollywood has a big budget to create movie it's still not so great with sound effect or CGI images in it. Mostly in Bollywood production movies, I could hear different song lyrics in the background, which connects to the storyline.
