In class, we got into pairs to analysis opening sequences. I worked with Aaron, we choose the movie Zombie Land, from the website Art of the title, which has a selection of different opening sequences to choose from. Here is the link to the opening sequence of zombie land:

We looked at Sound, characters, location and titles. Here is what we found:
Sound: At the beginning of the sequence it started with a distorted version of the American national anthem, this shows that America has been distorted and ruined by the zombies. And also throughout the opening sequences there are emphasised zombie noises, to make it more realistic and scary.
Characters/Relationships: Throughout the opening sequences of Zombie land, the audiences is introduced to different zombies and victims, the relationships between the zombies and victims is a lot of fighting and mostly the zombies eating their victims, this shows the audience what to expect in the rest of the film and what to expect.
Location: The opening sequence of Zombie land is set in America, you can tell this by the American flag and American football pitch, this shows that the Zombie invasion is taking play in a big country and having a big impact.
Titles: the titles in the opening sequences, are mainly the really important people in the film and involved in the making of the film, like main characters, producers, directors etc. The titles were in red, which has the connotations of blood and death.
