Zombieland

-->

In the opening sequence to Zombieland we see that the zombies are attacking people on a their normal day to day lives. It is all in slow motion and you can see the reaction on the peoples faces whilst they are running away from the zombies,  there is heavy rock music playing in the background to make the audience see that the zombies are rebellious. The first shot is of a man in a prison outfit chucking the prison guard off of the platform this shows that the law is out of control, this is showing us that the setting is based in America as of the type of clothing the in mate is wearing. The typography used in the sequence is being destroyed. As soon as we get an insight of what the film is going to be about we straight away know that the genre is going to be horror as the zombie is shown.  In the shot of the two men running away from the burning down car there is money being thrown into the air, this shows that money means nothing anymore its all about survival. The more into the sequence we get we are able to see the facial expressions of the people running away you can see that they are scared. There is abnormal creatures causing havoc and acting reckless in everyone’s hometown. The rock music is consistent throughout the sequence this is showing us the rebellion of the zombies. Also there is a homeless guy standing with a sign on saying that ‘the end is near’ this could be a sign of comedy usually people would walk past and not listen to what they say but knowing that the town is being taken over by zombies they are now thinking ‘we should of listened to that guy’ the font seems to move whenever the zombies attack the actor.

We then get a close up of the zombies attacking a police officer this shows the audience that the zombies do not care about how high up they are in the world they will do what they want and kill. We see a lot of shots of people just getting attacked by the zombies when they haven’t done anything, they’re just getting on with there day to day lives and they then get attacked by a zombie.
