Analysis of Opening Sequence: Zombieland

Zombieland



Director:Ruben Fleischer
Released: 2009

The narrative function is to give a backstory to the film, sets up that America has become a 'Zombieland' The opening sequence follows the conventions of the horror and comedy genres. The title credits are animated and move around the frame. There is lots of blood and gore which immediately indicates that this is a film for older audiences.
In terms of cinematography, there are fades to black.

Slow motion has been used to create humour, when the zombies are chasing and killing people. Some scenes are shot using a handheld camera to create a more realistic, documentary feel to the film.
