Art of the title screengrab - Bunraku - Jake

This opening sequence is very narrative driven. It has an interesting art style and is very unique. It has the institutional information riddled across the screen in each shots. It's half hand puppets and half animation. It's obviously completely different to the Vampire genre we are doing but they both have their own niches and they fill them well. It tells you what is happening in the world and story and sets up the rest of the film. We also want to set up the feeling of the film in the opening.

Art of the tile -zombieland - Lewis

The title sequence from the film "zombieland" instantly establishes the genre of the film by using stereotypical and instantly recognisable images of zombies. The film overlays its tiles over depictions of zombies attacking many people form many different ways of life, this shows how everyone is affected by the zombies. overt use of blood rotting flesh and crazed almost feral expressions make it very clear that this is a zombie film.
