2. HOW IS THE GENRE OF THE FILM
CONSTRUCTED?
• The genre of the film is constructed in the way that the
opening credits are presented in the form of a newsflash
showing the chaos.
• When framing the film as a news flash can make the film
seem more real and apocalyptic because it is a format
that we see in our everyday lives, this creates more
tension and suspense, thus forming the genre of horror.
• There are flashes of different gory pictures which also
represents the genre of a zombie slasher, giving the
audience a glimpse of what they should expect in the
film.
• The pictures of pandemonium, blood and gore really
emphasises the genre of a slasher.
3. WHAT DO THE OPENING TITLES
SHOW, VISUALLY? HOW IS
NARRATIVE ENIGMA CREATED?
• Visually, the opening title shows a lot of
mess and chaos, with people running
around, covered in blood just shows the
narrative enigma of guts and gore.
• The opening credits show the panic of the
population and how scared everyone is,
everyone is running, here, the narrative
enigma of terror is portrayed.
4. WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF THE
MUSIC?
• The music doesn’t seem to fit with the opening
credits however this terrifies and confuses the
audience even more because we are then
expecting the unexpected.
• The voices in the background commentate what
is happening and what is going to happen.
• The last two words are said without music in the
background, the two words are “death and hell”
this is maybe showing what the ending of the
film is going to entail.
5. HOW HAS TYPOGRAPHY BEEN
USED?
• The red writing portrays the evilness and destruction that
will be created throughout the film creating tension and
scaring the audience.
• The writing then turns into dripping blood, again
emphasising the gore and guts that will be seen through
the duration of the film, it also connotates the death and
extreme violence being portrayed in the film.
• When the writing turns to blood, it trickles away, this
could emphasise the effect of people running away, or
the lives that are slowly fading away.
6. HOW IS THE MISE-EN-SCENE
CONVEYED?
• All of the police cars and the ambulances
throughout the opening credits show how
serious the attack is and why the audience
should be scared.
• The costumes of the zombies are ripped
and covered with blood makes it a lot
more alarming because we know what
they are capable of and what they have
been doing.
7. CAMERA SHOTS
• The extreme close ups of the zombies face and
blood across their face shows the audience what
is causing all this destruction.
• During some parts of the opening credits the
camera is set out in a documentary point of
view style making the audience feel that they are
in the situation, even filming it themselves and
making them feel closer to the zombies.
