The title sequences opens with a man jumping from a set of stairs. The location of this particular scene looks as if it is based in a prison. The typography that is used is embedded into the scene; this is because it is in mid air. When the man falls to the ground he clashes with it, this is effective as it draws the audience attention to the typography.The audience are able to see a person wearing an orange prison uniform, this could connote that prisoners are to be kept away from but also is ironic as it’s a zombie wearing the uniform and the people would want to keep away from them. The use of a worms eye view provides the audience with an idea that he person falling has fell from a high position.
The next scene is of a zombie spitting blood out, by this point the audience has already grasped a possible genre for the film. They have done this because of the iconography used, for example blood could equal horror genre, zombies symbolise zombie genre. In the background of this scene the audience are able to see cars. The cars are motionless; this could imply that the town/city is a deserted location. The typography that is used is red this indicates a possibility of a variety of different meanings these include red for blood, horror, danger and death.
Following the last scene a women is running away from a zombie. From here the scene is set in a local town. There are railings shown this could connote the imprisonment that the humans have as they are unable to go anywhere due to the zombies. Also a long two shot is used; this is used in an effective way because it shows a zombie chasing a women t. This shows the women’s expressions and the situation that she is going through at the present time. Through out the title sequence the audience have a visual of fire, this indicates the danger and the destruction in which the zombies have caused. The audience can discover the storyline from the title sequence, they can refer this film to previous film that contain zombies. The typography that is used is in capital letters, this could have been done like this so the audience are able to read it. The non-diegetic sound that is used is fast paced, this is synchronised with the fast pace movement of the humans and zombies. Drums are used in the music this type of instrument is heavy and makes a lot of noise; this could link in with the destruction of the town. The man breaking the glass with a crowbar shows the damage that the zombies have done and like the glass the damage can’t be repaired. Close ups of the zombies show the lack of emotions and lack of life that they have inside their body.
