This document discusses the plot structure and storytelling techniques used in the movie Zombieland. It notes that the movie uses a non-linear montage at the beginning to depict the havoc caused by zombies without explaining the cause or narrator. This style creates mysteries for the audience. The rules and voiceover in the first part then establish the main plot and allow a slow-motion second part to unfold while still generating mysteries, as the audience remains aware of events to some degree.
