Dawn Of The Dead - Textual Analysis


The list of jobs that appear  during the opening sequence are:
Casting By . . .
Music By . . .
Music Supervisor
special effect make up 
costume designer
 co producer 
editor 
production designer 
director of photography
executive producers 
produced by
Screen play by
Directed By

I thought that the visual effects were quite effective. They stood out against the black background and was very clear to read. The title that appeared during the opening sequence looked like they  were drops of blood being blown away which i thought was compelling  to watch and an effectual way for the title to leave the screen.


Red is the most dominant colour during the opening sequence of the Dawn of the Dead. The colour red gives the audience a sense thats there is danger, it also reminds us of blood. In the images , the colour black stands out the most amongst the light backgrounds, it creates a sense of desolation.
