Ideas 1 / Title Sequemce Analysis

After discussing in class we have decided to do a horror movie
We looked at other opening sequences and decided to introduce it with a montage



The Dawn Of The Dead has an interesting opening sequence because it has contrapuntal music played with the chaos that is happening on screen. We liked the way that the music fitted so well with the scene. We also like the montage of zombies which kind of tells a story. The way the credits come up between different shots and screen fades in and out to black is a very effective use of editing. At the beginning of sequence there is a press conference and whenever the man is asked a question about the zombies he replies "We don't know". This shows straight from the beginning how out of control the situation has already become. Its good how the different news clips show that its world wide chaos. A lot of the opening clips are show in first person and the zombies attack the camera's which shows us a sense of realism and makes the sequence more shocking. When the credits appear they are made to look like blood which is also an effective style of writing.
