DAWN OF THE DEAD TITLE SEQUENCE ANALYSIS

DAWN OF THE DEAD TITLE SEQUENCE


The title sequence tell us:
  • The production companies (universal studios, new amsterdam entertainment production)
  • Title of film (Dawn of the Dead)
  • Actors/ actress (sarah polley, ving rhames.)
  • casting (joseph middleton)
  • music by (tyler batts)
  • costume (denise cronenburg)
The images shown in the title sequence of dawn of the dead are very documentary styled, they also have a old tv style video filter on top of the clips to help give a more real effect on the audience.
They also use ameture camera footage to add a sense of openess to the sequence.

The text on the title sequence is red in contrast to the background which is black, the text is bold and has a blown away effect on it which looks like blood to also build up some sort of anticipation to what
the film may be about.

They use close up shots to cut away from the text on the title sequence of blood and shocking things happening.
Also i have noticed their are a lot of explosions in the sequence and sped up shots to also show the effect of chaos.

The music used in the title sequence is unusual for a thriller as it is quite cheerful music but the non-digetic sound effects used on top of the music is used to shock the veiwer backed up with a thrilling image.
