Analysis of the opening title scene of the Shaun of the Dead (Embedded Video)


 


How does the title sequence establish genre, character and narrative?
The title sequence shows that the film might have a sense of comedy too it by the music they have chosen to use as it sounds happy and seems like the kind of music that would be used in a comedy film. Its gives you an idea at the beginning that zombies may be involved in the film as at the end of the title sequence, the man that walks in looks and sounds like how a zombie would, before his face is shown. By the title sequence you can't really tell that the film is going to be a comedy horror, you would just think that it is a horror.

How does the title sequence attract an audience's interest?
From the title sequence the film seems like its going to be a fun film to watch and its seems like it would be a funny film, this may make the audience want to watch the film as it looks good by the title sequence. Also by the end of the title sequence it gives away that the film may be about zombies so people who like films like this may want to watch it.

What do you consider to be the target audience of the film and why?
I think the target audience of the film would be people who are 15 and above, as there is some violence involved in the film so it may not be suitable for people under the age of 15. The film would be aimed at people that enjoy watching comedy horrors, as that is what the film is. It would be aimed more at the groups C2, D and E as they would be the type of people to watch a film like this.

Who had produced the film and how is that evident in the title sequence?
Shaun of the Dead was produced by Nira Park, but the title sequence doesn't include this information so you wouldn't know.
