Dawn of the dead analysis

The opening is uses very fast paced editing which could have been used to show a number of things such as the fast spread of the virus and how quickly things are escalating in the world and it also raises the tension in the film and sets the audience up with what has happened in the world, as at the start it begins with not much concern but quickly escalates to panic, also the use of news clips and interviews makes the audience feel its realistic as they would watch the news everyday. Also the credits are in a blood red colour and is sprayed across the screen which suggests this could be a bloody movie, and is very suggestive of zombies as they are known for blood and being covered in it, also some the scenes have close ups of zombies but these aren't fully scene as the pace of editing denies the audience a good look at them, this makes the audience fearful as they are only teased with zombie but aren't shown anything. The upbeat music over the screaming and footage of the outbreak makes the film if anything more scarier as its eerie to see people dying but have upbeat music playing.
