Zombie Land - Opening Scene - Titles

starting from 0.15 to accompany the action exaggeratedly satirical feel of ZombieLand comes the slow motion throwing of prison sniper from his roof by a jail inmate. The title is then ran through as if it's a finish line by man thrown off the tower to give an exciting interactive feel.

This imploding and gradually scattering of select letters of titles is a film throughout the opening scene title sequence as the next title (0.24) shows us. As the zombies throws up blood it intrudes the fixation of the title sequence again giving an interactive feel.

at 0.29 the title is in the background on the wall and to the left, however still in main sight. This is done as this mention is not a main contributor to the movie and thus doesn't need the validation of the previous companies, therefore placed on the sideline. Again the theme of letters breaking away is present.

at 0.34 Woody Harrelson's name is present in the middle underneath the hobo's ironic sign. This is of course as Woody Harrelson plays a main character in the movie and is a veteran actor, thus taking the middle screen spot for his title. The theme of the letters being touched by something and breaking off is still present, as well as slow motion.

at 0.39 Jesse Eisenberg's title is present to the left however still the front of the screen so the viewer can tell he's a main character, in this instance the actual main character. This title is only fixated at the left as if it was in the middle it would intrude action and give an unnatural feel, potentially veering the viewer's point of interest away from the action. Again following all the previous themes.

0.44 Emma Stone's title follows in the same sequence on the right to show just like Jesse she is a main character. Her title is on the right to the opposite of Jesse's, foreshadowing the story as they become lovers at the end. Her title too follows the same theme principles.

0.49 The other main character gets her title at the bottom right of the picture as she is the least prominent of the characters and also not to distract the viewer from the action. The theme does not change for her either.

0.57 After one more scene without titles the main title appearing in the middle boldly to of course remind the viewer of the movie name. This is put in the middle for emphasis and is so big as it's the most important title of them all. It again follows the theme of slowly breaking away and being interactive as it is hit with a crow bar through glass.

Overall, the titles are regular with a five second showing for them. They all follow the theme of being interactive and in slow motion as the actual sequence is too. All titles are the same font and size except the actual name of the film as that's the most important title.
