Opening to Shaun Of The Dead

The long shot on the random people sets the scene and shows us where the film is going to be set, the medium shots on the people with phones show us that this film is going to have something to do with the genre, the medium shot on all the people walking in sync shows what this film is going to be about and shows some of the characters involved. The close up on the mans feet make us feel something unusual is going to happen, then when we see his face our thoughts change. The medium shot length on the two main characters shows us what we are going to expect in this film.
        The editing pace is slow paced as they want you to see all the detail in the shot also as it it is a mixed genre film they want to confuse you early on so that it gets you thinking and keeps you gripped to the film.
        From the start of this film we get the impression it is going to have some action and some comedy. I think this because both of the characters seem unique and a bit weird, also you can tell it is going to include some action from them playing on the play station, a play station usually is associated with action.
        We can tell that the target audience is for teenagers and adults this is because we can tell that teenagers are able to associate it in real life also for a parent as it is a comedy parents will be able to understand the comedy.
        I get the impression that there are two genres involved in this opening, we can tell it is going to be a comedy, this is because we can tell the two main characters by their facial expressions that they are going to be humorous people, the action side comes from when we see the other characters walking in sync and looking like zombies so we assume there is going to be something happening between these two characters.
         The music being played through the opening is quite comedian and mysterious to make us wonder what is happening and what is going to happen this reassures us that this film is going to be a comedy and to be an action.
         The opening of this film is a great opening as it is a very mysterious opening and you do not know what is going to happen, the genre of this film is portrayed perfectly and you get very excited from the way everything is showed on the opening.
