Task 8 - Analysis of my favourite film

WORLD WAR Z.

WORLD WAR Z is my favourite film and the film opening is actually quite interesting. To begin with, it uses three title sequences; 

- Titles on black screen; as you can see from the gif, titles on black screen are widely used through out the whole title sequence. Not only is it used alone but it is used with some of the visuals. I think this is intentional because it allows the audience to be both informed and entertained. It allows the audience to make a link with the visual material and the title. For example we see Brad Pitts name on a black screen and at the same time a snippet of the movie location. (urban) almost like a split screen.

- Titles over moving images; this allows the tone to be set. We see many natural material i.e trees, farm lands, animal habitats and in a sense connotes freedom and purity. However, it seems to present many animals having combat and this is when the audience start thinking deeply about what the actual genre is

- Titles on still images; the visual material in world war Z definitely shows us what kind of genre its going to be - action, adventure horror. This is obviously illustrated by the animals and how they are in combat, trying to survive and how people are in dispute. This type of opening sequence is almost foreshadowing what might occur in the later stages of the movie.
