The Walking Dead

Sans serif, bold and all in capital letters - title and is important. (we need to use sans serif and bold credits, because I have seen this in almost all film analysis) 

"Dead" is shown first then "walking" - meaning dead is a key point in the show

Again low key lighting (like "Halloween")

Sound suddenly diminuendos at this point - opening is coming to an end

Writing is "dirty" and gives the effect of deteriorating - link to the zombie/walkers 

Close up of news paper - is the focus in the shot

blood splatter links with the article - makes the audience question "whats going on" or "whats going to happen" 

Low Key lighting - makes it mysterious and sinister 

Last name of the actor is in bold - shows importance

Actors name next to a character - tells us that he could be that character

The brown and grey colour make it look old - suggesting the apocalypses has been going on for a while

Montage is used - makes the opening disorientated and shows how different places got effected by the same thing. (this was like the opening "Zombieland")  

Black and white filter - makes the opening seem old, suggesting that the apocalypse has been going for a while. 

Long shot of a store, the store has been cleared out and abandoned - shows that no one is around and makes the audience asking questions (wanting to watch more). 

The blurred effect around the edges of the shot makes the audience focus on the center of the shot. Focusing on the blood and mess of the store. 

We can the cash machine has been broken in to, we no money and no food r supplies left. This is telling us that the store was robbed, meaning chaos.  This was shown in "Dawn of the Dead" however is was shown through setting being over crammed, and riots in streets.
