World

War Z

The First part we see the

company that has produced
the film who has their own introduction to be able to
claim credit for the film.

Next we see a simple Establishing shot before the

real opening of the film to set a tone for the film and
what is about to happen in the film and in this case
a sense of what went on before the big outbreak as
it is a calm sunset.

This section of clips is extremely

important due to the fact it shows the
order in which the order you will need to
show the opening credits many films also
shorten this section however world war z
dont. I may also use the idea of news
articles in my opening as this can be very
effective however I do not plan on a
zombie film and another issue may be the
idea of different news channels however
it may be possible to only have the one
channel with the same reporter.

However what we can clearly connote is we don't see the entire film in the opening but
importantly in this case a back story towards the environment around the characters and not
the entire tale of the film.
Importantly when looking at this opening sequence with going into basic shots of characters
with the simple close ups and mid shots and sometimes over the shoulder however this is
not the key aspect it's the simplicity of the credits and how small short clips and news
articles can have a big impact on the on the film as the first moments in the film is what really
draws the attention of the audience into the film and the way in which World War Z has done
it is very clever by not just saying zombie apocalypse but hinting the audience and planting it
into their heads on where this is going.
As the opening continues they added a non diegetic soundtrack over the top which as more
and more disturbing videos are shown the intensity and speed increases adding tension
towards the audience this is to connote the dangers and how important this situation is.
Finally, there are many key factors I can take out of this to replicate and add detail to my
opening to my film such as the idea of news reports this may be done with a simple green
screen to isolate the actor and add them to a background of a news place and add custom
banners which can be easily made. As well as the idea of the music slowly building up as the
images on screen get more intense so therefore the idea of non diegetic music can be used
to help set a clear tone of the background and not the entire narrative which should not be
told.
