Title Sequence Research: Zombieland.

Comedy doesn't get much blacker and darker than in Zombieland and these opening credits gloriously capture that fact. Metallica's 'For whom the bell tolls' sets the heavy metal mood while image after image of over the top zombie attacks set the tone for the wild ride that is to come for the audience. The red text represents connotations of blood which the audience will be hoping to see during the movie.During the sequence a sign that reads "the end is near" in the wide shot seen on the left gives the film an apocalyptic feel and, paired with the shot of zombie like people, suggests that a zombie apocalypse is vital to the film's plot. We also see the first name of an actor starring in it and the font used disappears off screen by burning away, conveying destruction.Another wide shot of three men and a burning car again continues the theme of anarchy and chaos as we see several notes of money launched into the air carelessly and a bloody person clashing with a riot shield, showing that this disaster is widespread and affecting all classes of people. These shots continue the idea that the narrative involves a zombie outbreak that destroys normality in this populated community.The title of the film confirms the zombie apocalypse narrative and continues the characterization of victims and zombies along with the theme of violence as we see a man smashing glass to get away from a zombie woman.
