2. The Title
The title "Zombie Land" hugely implies what the film is going to be
about. The word "Zombie" implies death, murder, canabalism..
this shows that the film is going to be a horror and some what
grusome. The word "land" after zombie implies that everyones going
to be turned into zombies and humans will no longer be on land but
zombies will (they will be everywhere.)
The style of writing is quite
simple and plain which looks
abandoned implying further
that humans will no longer
be alive or living on land. It
is almost as if it is deserted.
3. music
Straight away you can tell that the film is going to be quite tense
and dark due to the music.This gives the impression that it is
going to be a horror/thriller. One song is played through out which
is quite heavy/rocky and is played quite loudly over the title
sequence. This gives the impression that the film is going to be
loud and edgy just like the music. You can tell that the film is not
going to be a childs/happy film as the music is really dark and
intimidating the complete opposite to happy. Although the music is
dark and tense it is still some what upbeat giving the impression
that it may also a comedy or have somewhat happiness in it.
4. indication of place
From the title sequence you can see that the film may be set in
a typical everyday environment. This is because each clip from
the title sequence is set in average places such as streets,
shops, parks and work places. This gives the impression that
the film is going to be very realistic because it is set in ordinary
places that alot of people come across everyday. The fact that
the setting changes through each clip gives the impression that
the zombies are everywhere (more then one place) and
everybody is going to get killed as through out the title
sequence it is the zombies that are doing the majority of killing.
You can see that it is the zombies that have control and the
power as the humans are being killed and running away in
terror.
5. shot angles
shot angles such as low angle shots
are used continuosly through out the
title sequnce making it more tense and
realistic to the viewer as it seems like
they are almost in the shots.
It allows the viewer to see all of what is
occurring in the shot, again allowing
them to see how violent and graffic it is,
giving them indication of how the film is
then going to be (violent and graffic.)
Different angles also allow the viewer to
see the weakness and volnarabilty of the
humans compared to the zomebies as
you can see that the zombies are the
dominant figures in this. Further implying
that the humans are going to all be killed
as they are weak compared to them.
6. cinematography
Through out the title sequence a variety of camera angles are used such us close
ups; longshots; medium long shots and head and shoulders/closeups.
This immediatly creates many different effects for the viewer as they get to see
what is happening from many different angles allowing them to see all of what is
going on and just how grusome and graffic it is. This gives the viewer a hint on just
how graffic and violent the film is going to be as already it is showing people getting
killed and eaten in a grusome and graffic way.
7. conclusion
Over all from this title sequence you can see that this film is going to
be a horror due to the violence/killing and zombies running riot through
out it. But you can also tell that it may be a comedy due to the irony in
some scenes such as the zombie wife eaten her husband or the
stripper chasing one of her customers.
