this is my second textual analysis. its of the opening titles to the series "The Walking Dead".

1. Textual analysis.
Walking dead

2. Editing
here we can see that the makers have used very dark colours in
the title we also see that they have used a closed frame looking
through a window we can also see throughout the shot that
where ever we are it is very old/run down. We see the cream
font is displayed on a darker part of the picture this is done to
make the words stand out more from the rest of the photo.

3. Editing pg.2
Here and through the sequence we see one of many everyday
sights but with everything laid to waste and this gives the
audience a sense of loneliness as most of these places would
normally be filled with people where as now all we can see is a
desolate ruin of what once was.

4. Narrative
Here in this shot we see a man in a photo with the glass smashed
as his face is in the main titles this clearly shows us the audience
that he is going to be a main character throughout the story. We
also see that the characters are shown in different ways such as
picture frames hung up or on the floor and newspapers this is
only for the three main characters but this shows us their
importance and not just that but is also shows us in order.

5. Narrative pg.2
In this shot we see a supermarket which usually would be
bustling with people and nice and clean in ruin with no people to
be seen food spilled on the floor boxes lying about this gives the
audience an idea of the world they about to see and how it is a
mere shadow of what it once was where every day life has gone
to tatters. This also gives the audience a sense of loneliness due
to the emptiness of this normally busy place.

6. Representation
Here we see a normally busy street in an American city centre
laid in ruin with buses and cars simply left by the road side and
rubbish laid all-over the road with road blocks in the distance
this gives the audience a sense of isolation being shown a place
they know as busy as literally dead and decaying. They have also
used dark colours like grey and black and even the yellows have
been toned down this shows a huge lack of life and any
normality to the place we are seeing we see an armoured can in
the corner of the picture this
shows a possible state of
emergency before everyone
left/disapeared.
