In the opening sequence of Zombieland we see zombie's attacking people during their day to day lives. The attacks are paired with a heavy rock music to connote rebellion and anarchy. We see a man dressed in prison uniform throwing a man off a staircase in slow motion, we can see barbed wire in the background, this shows that it is a violent and gory film. The font used on the first credit saying ''Colombia pictures presents'' is in bold red writing, which could connote danger and blood, which moves as the victims are falling through it.
In the next clip we see a close up of a man, most likely one who is attacking, spitting out blood and is also covered in it. This could make the audience aware that it is a horror film as it is very gory and violent.
The more we see people being attacked, we can see their facial expressions looking scared as they are running for their lives. Suburbia is disrupted by abnormal creatures causing trouble and acting reckless. The music throughout the sequence also contributes to the theme of rebellion and recklessness. We also see a man holding a sign saying ''THE END IS NEAR'', this could be a form of foreshadowing as it shows that he believes the zombies are going to end the world, a zombie apocalypse.We also see the first name of the cast of ''Woody Harrelson'' and the font moves as the zombie's attack their prey.
We see a wide shot of a man being chased by zombies. We see a briefcase thrown into the air and spilling money out of it, in slow motion. This could suggest that the zombies are attack everyone and that there is no escape.
We see a close up of a zombie fighting against policemen. This shows they don't care for authority and are against the law. We see a shot of a wedding taking place and the bride is attacking her newlywed with no hesitation. This subverts the event as it is usually seen as a happy moment but is now a bloody, violent attack. We then see more clips of people's normal lives being affected by the violence.
