ANALYSIS ON DAWN OF THE DEAD





In the first scene is peaceful and as the sequence goes it tells a short story of what is happening and gives the audience an incite of what is going to happen throughout the film. The high angle scene where a mass population of people where bowing down (doing the same thing) shows that the population will be doing the same thing and the color shows that it is not going to be a positive thing.
The quick jump cut into the typography and them the typography is like a disgusting blood draw shows that some scenes will not be pleasant and there might be some disgusting scenes.

The black and white(old movie) scene of a woman represents evil and the scene immediately cuts into another scene and the audience are shown a zombie. this is related to the last black and white picture because it creates enigma in the audience and it make the audience kinda of compare the two situations, the ghost like creature and a zombie. the close up scene of the zombie's teeth stays in the audiences mind and they will expect to see more close up scenes in the movies and they will also expect to see a lot of zombie teeth throughout the movie.

As the name of the movie"dawn of the dead" is shown and there is a thunder sound, this creates the atmosphere of danger and that something bad has happened or is about to happen. the name is also written in red which represent blood, this makes the audience expect there to be a lot of guts and blood in this film. The iconography used in this sequence like blood helps the audience to know the genre and what to expect in the actual film.

The editing is very fast pase and this helps to create tension in the audience. As the unknown characters are talking about what is happening, it corresponds to what the audiences are seeing and this is called parallel sound. This helps the audience to understand the film better and know what to expect and help them follow the opening sequence not only from the zombies aspect but also from the humas point of view and helps the audience to know how the humans are feeling and how scared they are.
As the scene cuts into how chaotic the society now is gibes an incite that not many humans will survive.
The song playing interprets how the humans are feeling. It shows a society without authority, a society in chaos and a society that is broken.
