Zombieland Title Sequence title analysis

Throughout this title sequence, i believe it is clear to identify what genre the title sequence belongs to.


From the beginning of the title sequence, the font for the typography used helps establish that the title sequence belongs to the genre of 'Horror' for various reasons. One of the reasons which is evident, derives from the embedded blood and red effect used upon the font which i believe was used to help connote blood and reveal to us that this is what should be expected to see throughout the film.


The rock based soundtrack used within the title sequence would not be contrapuntal simply as the rock soundtrack links well with the shots, especially as rock music is often associated with hard hitting stuff often causing danger for an individual or a group of people. This music therefore helps establish that Zombieland is likely to be a film whereby people are constantly endangered.


Lastly, the slow cut editing used within the title sequence puts an emphasis on every movement. It is likely that the direct intention was to help the audience identify that every move within Zombieland is likely to have a direct affect also taking in to consideration what genre this film is of. The slow cut editting is furthermore creating tension for the audience, a state of feeling that should further be expected throughout the whole film.
