Dawn Of the Dead notes

1. How is the genre of the film constructed?
2. What do the openng titles show visually? How is narrative enigma created?
3. Why has Kyle Cooper chosen to use news footage?
4. Where do these shots position the viewer?

1. It is constructed by the use of dark colours and eary noises
2. They show a news bulletin and alot of rioting which creates the enigma as the audience do not know why a news bulletin is being shown in the sequence.
3. To create a sense of reality and mystery for the audience.
4. It puts the audience is a real position as everything on the news is real. it makes the viewer feel vulnerable and makes the audience wonder what has happened. 

The graphical images make the viewer want to look away.
The music is contrapuntal as it is a contrast between the images that are being presented on the screen. Although, the lyrics fit extremly well with the images while the music is very upbeat. The typography is red which indicates that this is a horror film as red represents blood and gore.
