Analysis Of ZombieLand Title Sequence.

In the title sequence for ‘Zombieland’, it starts with a young women getting hit by a car whilst in hers, she goes through the front window and lands on the ground dead with a bleeding neck. There is a bird eye camera angle of the women, with the text ‘Rule hash key 4’ and ‘Seatbelts’. The Rule 4 is in the colour of red this could come across the meaning of blood and danger, and the beginning of many other rules in the film that may need to be followed to be able to survive. The word Seatbelt is in the colour white, both texts look like they have been made to be written on the road this could try and tell people who are driving something such as always wear a seatbelt when driving. As well in the screen shot above on the left it says 'fasten your seatbelts...it's going to be a bumpy ride', in this case the meaning of the word seatbelt could mean wear your seatbelt at all times due to it being a bumpy ride for us, the people acting in it and the women who got hit by the car. I think the writing could look like it has been printed on the road for those driving to see the word and make them think.

By the name of the film 'Zombieland' you automatically think the film is about zombies. In the title sequence in each shot a zombie is appeared chasing a human, this obviously means they are wanting to bite them as well as turn them into zombies. The music used for it has that rocky vibe to it and i think suits well with it it it goes with the slow motion of running, because deaths will be involved in the film the song can come across aggressive. Each shot includes a movement, the action involved is when the human is running away from the zombie and hits the typography as if it looks like it is going with them. Examples of this are images below. As you can see the first image is someone jumping off the building to get away from the zombie, if you look closely at the screen shot you can see the mans hand hitting the typography. The point i am trying to make is what i said earlier the movement in the shot goes with the action of the text going with them.

Carrying on from what i have said above, this screen shot is showing the name of the film 'ZombieLand' being smashed feeling as the typography is the glass the human is smashing. Also in the background the shot shows a zombie chasing the man, as i have mentioned before in each shot of the title sequence there is a zombie involved this could help not forget what the film is about.

The two screen shots above i think could bring comedy to the title sequence. The first one is a man running away from the zombie stripper whilst having money in his hand, this could mean the man spends his money to go into strip clubs but this strip club had been attacked by zombies hence the reason of a girl zombie chasing the man with money because that is the way she earns money. Some people could find this funny because it is usually men chasing after women, in this case it is a naked zombie chasing what could be called her customer and him looking scared. The second shot i thought was funny is because it reminded me of a James Bond film, here they could be spoofing the film with the man wearing a smart outfit as well as holding a gun and firing the bullets.
