                      Zombieland Title Sequence Analysis

In this title sequence it introduces to us that the movie is going to be set in America. This is shown through The first shot we see of the prison convict throwing a man off a tower. I know that this is set in America due to the orange convict clothing he is wearing. Other aspects of this sequence that show that it is set in America is the dollars flying out of the briefcase as the man is being attacked by a zombie. 

The themes in this movie are Reverse of order which is used for a comic approach. It means that life has turned the other way around such as the convict throwing of the prison guard. The stripper chasing the man and the people attacking the mobsters. This sequence also represents the theme of anarchy such as the bride attacking the groom showing that everything has become corrupt and chaotic. 

Iconography used in this sequence is blood. This is a  must have in the horror genre and connotes to the audience that it could be a horror. Torn flesh is also a key iconic aspect of horror as is dead bodies and cannibalism which all are included in this title sequence. For example in the shot down below this zombie shows all of the key iconography of a typical horror movie such as he has the peeling flesh, hese supposedly dead and is spitting out blood.

The narrative of Zombieland  is shown through the title sequence as it shows that it is going to have something to do with a post apocalypse world where zombies roam.  The genre of the movie is also shown through the title sequence such as the comedy aspects of reverse of order that infer that the narrative will have comedy elements in it.  There is also a shot of a man wearing a poster that says “the end is near” this could foreshadow that the zombies will end up destroying the whole world.
