Zombieland title sequence analysis

   The opening title sequence to the film Zombieland is exhilerating and interesting. It consists of effective slow-motion backed up by dramatic music making the audience feel the narrative engima to what is going to occur within the film. Will the zombies catch them and takeover?
      In the title sequence to the film Zombieland the title font/typography is bold 2-d font which is coloured dark red. The colour red has been used to represent the theme of death and possibly horror. The music used in the sequence is dramatic and matches with what’s happening on the screen. While the music is playing there is a use of slow-motion on the screen, the music here helps build the excitement upon the entrance to this film because it connects well with what is happening on screen.
      The mise-en-scene used in the title sequence consists of the characters wearing casual clothing and the zombies are wearing very similar clothing yet their clothes are ripped with blood stains splattered over them. The lighting was particularly bright, this could represent that the non-infected may survive.
      Overall I would say that the title sequence was interesting and intrigues the audience to watch the rest of the film to find out what will happen.
